Getting praise and applause from a senior and exceptional cricketer especially from the arch-rival team batsman was surely a huge moment for Pakistan skipper Babar Azam as he expressed his views on being lauded by Indian ace Virat Kohli.
Pakistan national side skipper has said that earning praise from Indian ace player Virat Kholi “is a matter of pride for him” and that it made him “feel good”.
Speaking to an Indian news channel ahead of the arch-rivals faceoff in ongoing Asia Cup 2023 scheduled for Saturday (September 2) in Kandy, Sri Lanka, the Green Shirts captain said: “It feels pretty good when someone makes such comments about you. The way Virat Kohli commented about me is a matter of pride for me.”
Azam, 28, is currently the number one ODI batter and also comes in the top four of Test and T20I rankings.
