Babar Azam shuts down journalist over Virat Kohli comparison

After leading his team to a thrilling last-ball win, Babar responded to a question about struggling to finish games like Kohli. He stated, 'Khatam kar dein aap,' asserting that he has finished many matches and the journalist's premise was wrong.

Despite the frustration, Babar contributed 43 runs in the victory over Hyderabad Kingsmen. This incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny the Pakistan star faces regarding his ability to close out tight run chases, particularly following a trend of low scores in late 2025 and early 2026.
