Comparison with modern-day greats like Virat Kohli makes Babar Azam proud but young Pakistan skipper aspires to be on a pedestal from where comparison are drawn with him.
“I feel proud to be compared to these top batsmen and to be ranked in the top five of the world. But my dream is that one day I also reach a stage where other batsmen are compared to me and not me being compared to others,” Babar said in an interview to a YouTube channel.
“I know that I also have to perform like them in every condition and compete with them. I also want to perform like them and win matches for the team like they do.”
The 26-year old top batsman said the satisfaction one gets by scoring runs on tough overseas tours is immense and that’s why he is all geared up to do well in New Zealand.
“When you get runs in places like Australia, England, South Africa it gives you satisfaction and people sit up and take notice of you. New Zealand will be a tough series but I have psyched myself to continue my runs in the two tests and three T20 matches.”
