Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are two of the best cricketers in India and Pakistan. They have innumerable fans and supporters all over the cricket world. Even on social media, their fans are seen debating who is the best between Kohli and Babar. However, no matter how many debates between fans, Babar will never be Kohli, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar believes. And this legendary cricketer of Pakistan also explained the reason.
Babar Azam is quite consistent at 22 yards. Looking at the statistics, it can be seen that Babar Azam has been performing well with the bat for the last two or three years. This Pakistani batsman is also leading the team. But if it comes to the brand then why is only Kohli, and Babar Azam not even close to many cricketers? Many people even say that Kohli is a brand himself. Babar Azam cannot come close to Kohli in this place.
Shoaib Akhtar analyzed the reason for this in an interview recently. Shoaib believes that one of the main reasons for this is the lack of knowledge of English by the cricketers of the Pakistan team. Most Pakistani cricketers do not know English. Pakistan captain Babar Azam is also behind in this direction. Shoaib thinks that it is not allowing him to become a big brand.
Shoaib Akhtar said, “See for yourself. There is no character in the Pakistan team. There is no way for you to speak a little. When you can’t speak, it looks very strange in the post-match presentation.
Is speaking English or learning English too difficult? When you can’t do that you can’t present yourself that way. Playing on the field is one thing and handling the media off the field is another. You have to handle both sides. And if you can’t speak well then you can’t express yourself. “Shoaib Akhtar also said, “Babar Azam is one of the best cricketers. I am telling everyone that Babar Azam should be the biggest brand in Pakistan cricket. But he has not become that yet. Why not? Because he does not know English.
You see, Wasim Akram, and Shahid Afridi is getting more recognition than him. Because they have brand value and it is because of their communication skills. Babar Azam can become the biggest brand in Pakistan only if this skill can be increased. “Meanwhile, Babar Azam himself has been in unpleasant situations many times due to his lack of knowledge of English. He admitted not knowing English. At the same time, Babar also said that he is trying to learn English.
