Pakistan skipper Babar Azam wants to emulate Virat Kohli

The Hindu  

Pakistan batsman Babar Azam's sparkling form has earned him comparisons with Virat Kohli but the elegant right-hander says he has a long way to go before he can be considered the Indian skipper's equal. Babar averages above 45 in tests and 50-plus in both one-dayers and Twenty20 Internationals, putting him in the top five of all three formats. “I'm happy as long as I can help Pakistan win matches. I'm rarely satisfied with my performance because I always see room for improvement.” Pakistan is scheduled to play three Tests and the same number of Twenty20 Internationals against England in August-September though exact dates and venues are yet to be finalised.
