Here's what Shaheen Afridi said when asked about the best batsman between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam

On the other hand, the Pakistani skipper, Babar Azam, has set his own standards very high. He is breaking records after records. Babar has been exceptional for a couple of years. He has been the run-machine in international cricket at the moment. Every time he steps onto the criket field, there is a new record he sets.

Thus, the biggest question that every fan asks is who is better between these two modern-day greats. That is why the comparison between the two becomes normal among cricket lovers. Many cricketers, former players, and cricket pundits have shared their personal opinions on this comparison between the two greats.

However, the same question was asked of the Pakistani speedster, Shaheen Afridi, as well. In a video posted on ESPNcricinfo, the pacer was seen giving an interesting answer to this. Answering the question, he said, "I like both."

However, it will not be fair to compare these two legends because they both belong to different generations. Virat is 33 while Babar is 27 and is starting to hit his peak. On the other hand, the former Indian skipper has been there already for years and achieved those things.

Speaking of their careers, Virat has played a total of 458 international games, while Babar has played 202 till date. But it will not be wrong to say that the Pakistani skipper has been the best batter across the last year or so.

In the ongoing three-match ODI series against West Indies, he broke Kohli's record of scoring the fastest 1000 ODI runs as a captain. He achieved this feat in just his 13th innings while Virat took 17 innings to do so.
