  1. Virat Kohli obviously has an upper hand with better Strike rate and average while Babar has yet to prove himself more

  2. Babar Azam is truely a gem of a player for Pakistan but it is not just acceptable to compare King Kohli with him. King Kohli will always be favourite as he has not just been amazing in his initial days, he has carried his class all the years he is been playing. While the Pakistani is on the right track to match the Indian Skipper, he has to really be consistent enough and play as much as cricket he can to be compared with the King!
