One user replied to his tweet and compared him to Indian captain, Virat Kohli, saying that Kohli should learn a thing or two about chasing targets from Babar Azam. This prompted a response from Aakash Chopra who said that Kohli is the best chaser in the world, urging fans not to compare the two batsmen.

Kohli has been known as one of the best chasers in the world, but his record in the franchise-based T20 has not been impressive. He has yet to win an IPL title with Royal Challengers Bangalore, while Babar Azam took Karachi Kings home in their first final.
What do you guys think? Is it fair to compare the two batsmen? Let us know in the comments section.
