Ramiz Raja Names Pakistan Batsman Who Has 'Similar Talent' As Virat Kohli, Babar Azam

Pakistan’s veteran commentator Ramiz Raja has revealed one Pakistan batsman who he thinks has a similar potential like Virat Kohli and Babar Azam. Indian skipper Kohli is arguably the best batsman in world cricket at the moment.

Mostly, Pakistan’s Azam is widely compared to Kohli because of the success he has achieved in international cricket in recent times.

But Raja has come up with a different and very interesting name who he believes has the same amount of potential as Kohli and Azam.

Ramiz Raja Reveals The Pakistan Batsman Who Has Similar Talent That of Virat Kohli And It’s Not Babar Azam

Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja has revealed that there is one such player in the country who has the talent to become the next Azam or Kohli of cricket.

Raja has said Haider Ali of the Peshawar Zalmi team has ‘immense talent’ and could become a world-beater if he follows the approach of Azam and Kohli.

‘‘Haider has immense talent and has made a name for himself in his first season of PSL,’’ Raja said in a Youtube video.

‘‘However, he needs to bring consistency in his performance and his ideal position is number three in the batting order. He has big quality shots in his armour and doesn’t need to improvise much as his power-hitting base is quite strong.’’

‘‘Haider needs to follow the approach of Babar Azam and Virat Kohli. These two doesn’t improvise much as they have so much talent and rely mainly on conventional shots. Haider has similar talent as Babar and Kohli, but just needs to work on his game awareness and play longer innings,’’ he added.

Haider Currently Playing In The Pakistan Super League

Haider is a right-handed batsman who scored 239 runs in 9 Pakistan Super League (PSL) matches for the Zalmi’s before the league was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday breathed a sigh of relief after all of its 128 coronavirus tests conducted the players, support staff, match officials, broadcasters and team owners involved in PSL turned out to be negative.

Additionally, Multan Sultans underwent 17 coronavirus tests on Monday which were also negative.
