When Rashid Latif appeared on YouTube to talk about cricket, the former Pakistan captain had a lot to say about a particular player, comparing him to Sir Don Bradman and Brian Lara.
One of cricket’s greatest batsmen, Babar Azam, was lavished with adulation by Rashid Latif, Pakistan’s former national team captain. Babar was rated higher by Latif on YouTube than Pakistan’s previous all-time greats Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram, and Inzamam-ul-Haq. On top of all that, the 53-year-old called Azam “the Bradman and Lara of our day.” “As far back as 2019, I had tweeted about this. We were in England for a tour. To remember everyone with whom I’d had the pleasure of playing, I jotted down their names – Miandad, Wasim, Waqar, Inzamam. But he has a leg up on everyone else. I’m referring to a long time ago, though. Since then, he’s clearly grown into a major player “, he asserted.
“Because I’m not just referring to Babar, we can’t draw any comparisons. All of these players, including Virat, Rohit, and Williamson, are batting with 10 fielders in one-day internationals “As a matter of fact,
The previous opening hitter Saeed Anwar, according to Latif, is Pakistan’s only greater batter than Azam.
“Next, I’ll address Saeed (Anwar). As far as I know, he’s the only batter like him in baseball history. The best batter Pakistan has ever produced, without a doubt. Having seen him up close, I can attest to the fact that he was an engaging player. He rarely put in the time to practice. As a result, comparing the two eras is unfair “That was what he stated.
“Inside the circle today, there are five players. There were four of them back then. If one fielder was further outside the circle, Anwar or Inzamam would eat the bowlers. That era’s greats were among them. Babar is today’s Bradman and Lara Croft. Exactly what’s going on here is the problem “He went on to say.
Babar has scored 2851 runs in 40 Test matches for Pakistan and 4261 runs in 86 one-day internationals since his debut. While all of this is going on, he’s amassed 2686 runs in 74 T20I appearances.
