Abdul Razzaq said Virat Kohli fitness is world class Babar Azam will have to work a lot

Former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq has praised Virat Kohli fiercely. He said that Virat Kohli's fitness is "world class" and Babar Azam stands nowhere in front of him. Razzaq said that Azam will have to work a lot in every aspect to become like Kohli.

In an interview given to Times of India, Abdul Razzaq said, 'The most important thing about Kohli is that his fitness is world class. Babar Azam's fitness is not like Virat Kohli. Babar needs to work more on his fitness.

He said, Babar is Pakistan's number one player. Babar is actually the No. 1 batsman in the world (ODIs). Be it any format of the game, be it Test, ODI or T20, he has been doing consistently well. Every country has a player like him (Virat and Babar).

Razzaq also praised Kohli's intention and said, 'Virat is an excellent and brilliant player. The best thing is that he takes his team along. His intention is always positive. He uses his skills very well.

The former Pakistan cricketer also requested the fans to refrain from comparing Virat Kohli and Babar Azam as both are world class players. He said, 'We don't need to compare them. It is like asking who is better - Kapil Dev or Imran Khan? These comparisons are not good.

He said, 'Kohli is one of the best players of India. Similarly, Babar Azam is the best player of Pakistan. Kohli is a world class player, so is Babar. But Kohli's fitness is much better than Babar.
