After Virat Kohli fell for 16 in the second ODI against England, Azam had some words of motivation for the India great
Virat Kohli and Babar Azam's current forms are in sharp contrast to each other. While the former Indian cricket team captain is going through the leanest phase of his career, the current Pakistan cricket team skipper is having a great run. There have often been comparisons between the two. However, the camaraderie between the two has not been lost. After Virat Kohli fell for 16 in the second ODI against England, Azam had some words of motivation for the India great.
"This too shall pass. Stay strong. #ViratKohli," he tweeted.

Babar Azam's rise in Pakistan and world cricket has been quite steady over the last few years. He emerged as an exciting talent and after some exhilarating performances with the bat, soon got counted among the best in the world. He was then promoted as the Pakistan captain too. While many former cricketers have argued that on current form he is perhaps the best batter in the world, others have spoken about expanding the 'Top 4' of international batting elite group into a 'Top 5' to include Babar along with the likes of Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson.
His form in limited overs cricket has been phenomenal and the Pakistan skipper continues to rule the charts in ICC Rankings. In the latest rankings, Babar has maintained his top billing in T20I batting rankings and as a result smashed yet another record of former India captain Virat Kohli. Babar has now been at the top of T20I rankings for the maximum period, surpassing Kohli's record of 1013 days.
Babar recently broke another record of Kohli when he scored more than 1000 runs in ODIs since taking over as Pakistan's captain. He reached this feat in just 13 innings. Kohli has taken 17 innings as India captain to scored 1000 ODI runs.
