I Tweeted Thinking It Will Give Virat Kohli Just Some Support: Babar Azam On His Tweet, 'This Too Shall Pass'
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan, garnered many admirers when he tweeted that he was rooting for Virat Kohli, who is going through a hard time. In the aftermath of Kohli’s 16-run dismissal in the second One-Day International against England, Babar tweeted, “This too shall pass.” As soon as the tweet became widely known, admirers began thanking Babar for standing with Kohli.
Babar spoke at a news conference the day before the opening Test against Sri Lanka when he was questioned about his tweet about Virat Kohli.
Virat Kohli Is One Of The Best Players: Babar Azam
As a player myself, I know you can go through such a phase (out of form) and I also know what a player goes through in such a phase. In those times, you need support. I just tweeted thinking that it will give just some support. He is one of the best players,” Babar said during a press conference.
“He is playing a lot of cricket and he knows how to come out of these situations. It takes time, if you back players, it will be really good,” he added.
Fans frequently debate who of the two stars, Babar and Kohli, can hit a greater cover drive because they are two of the current top batters.
When Kohli chased a wide pitch beyond the off-stump in the second One-Day International against England, Jos Buttler took an easy catch and Kohli was out for yet another low score.
Since scoring his last international century in 2019, Kohli has failed to reach the three-figure mark. The Edgbaston Test and the subsequent two T20Is against England saw the batter struggle to get going.
Kohli will be playing the last ODI against England and would hope that he gets back into runs as he won’t be playing the West Indies series.
