Irfan Pathan Slams Babar Azam, Dismisses Kohli Comparisons: 'Never Played Under Pressure'

  • Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan criticized Babar Azam, stating he has never played a match-winning knock under pressure like Virat Kohli.
  • Pathan highlighted Kohli's 2022 T20 World Cup innings against Pakistan as an example of playing under pressure.
  • Babar Azam scored only five runs off seven deliveries before being dismissed by Axar Patel, contributing to Pakistan's heavy loss to India.
  • Pathan questioned Babar's ability to absorb pressure and finish games, suggesting he should have focused on a longer innings rather than a big shot.
  • He added that Babar's approach led to Pakistan not batting their full 20 overs, calling it a "shameful loss."
