Asia Cup 2023: Pakistan Superfan "Chacha Cricket" Picks His Favourite Between Virat Kohli And Babar Azam

73-year-old superfan named “Chacha Cricket” is the most loyal fan of the Pakistan cricket team. His team will play in the upcoming Asia Cup and will take on India on September 2 in Pallekele.

Chacha Cricket who recently appeared on the Nadir Ali Podcast spoke about his memories from India-Pakistan games and chose his favorite cricketer between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam.

Chacha spoke about how he sold his house in Sialkot for 15 lakh rupees in the 1990s to watch Pakistan play Test cricket overseas.

“In the current era, it’s Virat Kohli,” Chaha Cricket told Nadir Ali on the latter’s show on YouTube choosing between Virat and Babar.

Virat Kohli Is An Extremely Big Player: Chacha Cricket

The legendary Pakistan fan further said that Kohli’s shot-making ability makes him a standout player from the rest of his competitors.

“Kohli is an extremely big player currently. The speed at which Kohli hits the balls in the gap stands apart from other players” said Chacha.

He further admitted that the likes of Babar, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi are his favorite players from the current squad and prayed that they reach a higher level than Virat Kohli in international cricket.

“Agar mai ek player ka naam lunga naa to usme aajayega Pakistan ka Babar aur Rizwan. Humari toh dua hai ki Virat Kohli se bhi badhkar humare players khele. Babar bhi khele aur dusre players bhi. Is waqt Pakistan ko ek edge hai ki Shaheen Shah Afridi jo hai naa vo is waqt bowling mein top ka hai,” he said.

India and Pakistan are placed in Group A in the Asia Cup. Both teams take on each other on September 2 in the tournament. Pakistan since 2021 has beaten India once in the T20 World Cup and once in the Asia Cup 2022.

With the ICC World Cup 2023 at home, winning the Asia Cup will be a litmus test for India and especially the match against Pakistan.
