Virat Kohli’s childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma recently gave his views on Babar Azam. During his appearance on India TV News, Sharma received a hard question from the interviewer. The childhood coach of Kohli had to answer whether Azam deserved a place in the Fab 4 group now instead of Kohli.
Many members of the cricket universe would know that Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root and Steve Smith are part of the Fab 4 group. The group consists of the most consistent batters of the modern era. Quite a few fans have debated that Babar Azam deserves a place in the group. Some have even labeled it the Fab 5 group now.
When asked if Babar Azam should replace Virat Kohli in the Fab 4, considering the recent form of the two players, Rajkumar said:
“I don’t want to do a comparison. I will especially not talk about Virat because it will seem that I am biased but his stats tell what he has done till date. Let ex-cricketers and others decide that.”
I will wait for some more time: Saba Karim feels Babar Azam should prove himself in SENA countries before replacing Virat in Fab 4
Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim was also a part of the discussion. He felt that Azam should prove himself in the overseas conditions. He wanted to see his performances in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia before giving his conclusion.
“I will wait for some more time before adding him to the Fab Four. If we see otherwise, he is technically very sound, he is a fantastic player, he is a match-winner, bats with responsibility,” said Saba Karim.
Saba concluded by saying that if Babar scores big in SENA countries, he will be a favorite to enter the Fab 4 group. It will be interesting to replace if Babar can earn the membership of Fab 4 group in the future.
