Harbhajan Singh hailed Virat Kohli as a modern-day legend, emphasizing the need for players like Babar Azam to learn from Kohli’s ability to excel in diverse cricketing situations.
In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Virat Kohli has made an impactful start, with a stellar performance in four innings. He’s notched a century and two half-centuries, ranking third among the tournament’s leading run-scorers. In the opening match against Australia, he partnered with KL Rahul to mount a recovery after India’s weak start, scoring an unbeaten half-century against Afghanistan. While he faced a brief dismissal against Pakistan, he ended an eight-year century drought in the World Cup by scoring an unbeaten 103 in a successful chase against Bangladesh.
In contrast, Babar Azam, often compared to Kohli for his consistent performances, has only managed a single half-century in four innings during the current World Cup, drawing criticism for his subpar performance.
India’s former spin legend Harbhajan Singh asserted that Virat Kohli excels in diverse situations and conditions, securing victories for India. He called on peers like Babar Azam to learn from King Kohli’s exemplary performance in his latest post on X.
