He also added that Azam has a very “exciting future” ahead of him.

“I do [see similarities between Kohli and Babar]. They are extremely high quality players. Babar, over the last year or so, has taken another step towards becoming one of the greats of the game so he has got an exciting future,” Du Plessis told Cricket Pakistan.
