New Delhi. Pakistan captain Babar Azam’s performance in this World Cup has not been anything special and his team is also on the verge of being out of the World Cup. Along with Babar’s captaincy, questions are also being raised on his batting. He is not able to score runs fast in powerplay. Amidst a lot of criticism, Babar has told during the World Cup why he likes Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Babar Azam talked about Virat and Rohit on Star Sports before the match between India and England. Babar said, “Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Kane Williamson are my favorite batsmen. These three are the top players in the world. These three read conditions and situations well, that’s why I like them.”

The Pakistan captain further told why he likes Rohit and Virat so much. Babar said, “One thing I like most about Virat, Rohit and Kane Williamson is how they take the team out of difficult situations and score runs easily even against good bowlers. This is what I try to learn from these three.”
If we talk about World Cup 2023, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are in form. Kohli has scored the most runs for India so far. He has scored 354 runs in 5 matches at an average of 118. He has scored 1 century and 3 half-centuries. At the same time, Rohit Sharma has 311 runs in 5 matches. He has scored one century and one half-century. At the same time, Babar Azam has scored only 207 runs in 6 matches. His average is 34 and strike rate is 79 and this is his biggest weakness. Pakistan team has so far won only 2 out of 6 matches played in the World Cup while it has faced defeat in 4.
