Former Australia batsman Tom Moody said if people think India captain Virat Kohli is good, they should watch Pakistan skipper Babar Azam bat.
Kohli and Azam have been compared to each other repeatedly, even though Azam has brushed off such comparisons numerous times.
“You think Kohli is good, watch Babar Azam bat,” Moody was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Azam was utterly sensational in the T20 World Cup as he broke the record for the most runs scored by a batsman in their maiden T20 World Cup appearance.
He scored 303 runs in six games, which included four fifties, at an average of 60.60 and a strike-rate of 126.25.
Pakistan will now play three T20 Internationals and two Tests against Bangladesh.
The T20 series will be held from November 19 to 22, while the Test series will begin on November 26.
