Former Pakistan cricketer makes baseless claim Virat Kohli

Former Pakistani fast bowler Aaqib Javed has made a baseless remark on the Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam debate. According to him, Babar holds a slight edge due to his consistent performance. Javed was asked to pick between the two talented batsmen. He stated that while Kohli has impressive seasons, his consistency isn't as steadfast as Babar Azam's.

“Kohli's seasons are amazing. If in one season he is amazing, another could be a decline. He is not as consistent as Babar Azam," Javed said on the YouTube channel Events & Happenings Sports.

“A good captain should have 2-3 qualities. One is to perform to an extent where he inspires the team and gets the team behind him as a captain. Another quality a good captain should have is the ability to give confidence to his teammates in their abilities as a player. I have seen some captains who put their players under trial constantly and they are always under pressure. This can give room to selfishness within the team which is not good. Third is to be fair and honest when taking decisions regarding the team. So these are the little things that matter," he added.
