A lot of people are comparing Babar Azam with Virat Kohli (including Inzamam-ul-Haq), but in my opinion this is not proper since Babar has played a lot less when compared to Virat. Recently Harsha Bhogle rated him as one of the over-rated players in T20, despite topping the ICC rankings.

https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/harsha-bhogle-challenges-babar-azam-s-potency-t20-cricket

Harsha was pointing out his low strike rate (< 130.00), and argued that his style of batting is not very suitable for the T20 format.

Even I think pretty much the same but to be true I think it's just out of our patriotism that we cannot stand a pakistani players getting compared to Indian captain. But the truth is that Babar Aazam is indeed a good player and when you compare him with Kohli don't forget he is 6 years younger than Kohli and is already being compared to Kohli. He might have played pretty less in t20 but that's because he doesn't plays IPL which is whatever you say the best platform in the world to polish you t20 skills.

Mostly this is true he still need experience and more cricket which is currently no available for him on other hand Kohli is doing good as he is already touching many milestones compare to Babar Azam its all just because of too much cricket and media around him Pakistan facing serious troubles in last one decade which are hurting seriously to many young cricketers.

Baber Azam is one of best batsman in current Pakistan team but sadly he is not playing cricket as other top order world class batsmen playing which is hurting his cause for becoming much better batsman

I agree. Babar Azam is basically the Kohli of the Pakistan team at present. He is a critical part of the current Pakistan squad and the statistics prove that.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesnownews.com/amp/sports/cricket/article/virat-kohli-vs-babar-azam-who-has-better-batting-average-in-test-odi-and-t20i-cricket/587752

Above article clearly proves how good he really is and he still has a long way to go in my opinion. He has a lot more responsibilities now that he is the captain. Excited to see how he performs in the future.

The present Pakistan team is alien to me but i have heard about some of the players from cricket talk show clips that is circulating in social media, to showcase the talent they need to play matches and they are unlucky that majority of the teams are not willing to tour them and these players are missing a lot in their playing career.

Well there is always time to showcase the team talent and skills in playing cricket. The team pakistan may not have that much publicity for now but pretty sure if thet continue to inspire others and play well in the game opportunity comes knocking on their door. I think patience for now is a virtue to them. Let us all wait for the tables to turn for them.

However, there are great teams already played in cricket and this should be their goals and mindset that one day they will be able to meet them and by that time comes they should be ready for it. Winning or lossing does not count when it comes rather it is how they play and showed their worth as a team.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.crictracker.com/top-5-current-batsmen-with-best-innings-per-century-ratio-in-international-cricket/amp/

Am not at all surprised to see Kohli and Smith on top of the list due to their consistency in all formats of the game. 2 Australians, 2 Indians and 1 Pakistan player round out the list.

I was curious to know who was that one Pakistani player included in the top 5 batsman and was happy to see Baber Azam to make it in the Top 5 batsmen of the world.

Quote from: Haunebu on July 15, 2020, 03:08:37 PM

Just imagine all 5 of these guys in a single team. Would be absolutely glorious.

That would be a night mare for the bowlers. No opposition would want to see such a strong batting line up.

Now after recent outbreak of this Corona one thing is clear IPL2020 is not going to be played in India even without Crowd but BCCI is working on other options as right now they have two good replacements and both are favourable to them so surely after verdict about Twenty/20 world cup we will have something serious about this all.

It was obvious from the beginning that the situation would get worse as you cannot attain anythng just by locking down the entire country and during that time if they would have tested and identified the positive cases then the situation could be controlled by now but to forsee this you need to have a good administration leading the country and if you lack that you will fall behind and that is what is happening in Brazil India and Mexico.

It clearly states in the articles that it has been cancelled due to COVID19. In India this virus is spreading like a wildfire. Some Indian states have again placed lockdown in order to control the spread. All tournaments that were schedule to happen in India will get cancelled for sure.

In another thread someone said that the BCCI is sending their players for training to the UAE, may be they will be resuming cricket in other countries rather than playing in India. I am following the news and i can see that India is the worst affected country in the past one month the number of patients are increasing which is not a big surprise considering the population they have and the sub par living conditions for the poor.

As you have posted, the increase in the number of new cases have been insane. Every nook and corner is hit and no one is safe anymore. The only way for this series to move forward is to shift it to some safe country, such as Sri Lanka. And at this point, the BCCI may not be willing to do that.

After the entire 2011 World Cup allegations scandal recently, I don't see any hope for Indian matches in Sri Lanka since the respective boards probably hate each other currently.

Sri lankan authorities didn't took those allegation very seriously and shot down all investigation quickly after couple of interviews. BCCI didn't even gave any major reaction on so-called fixing controversy, so there is no bad blood between BCCI and SLC.

I was surprised to learn that so many people still think that it is possible for IPL 2020 to resume this year even though the fact is that it is close to impossible currently since India is the 4th worst hit country so far and the end is nowhere in sight.

Another big series has been postponed thanks to the insane increase in Corona cases in India currently. The boards will continue postponing these matches until the positive cases drop drastically which probably won't happen anytime soon.

Actually this was expected. It is unimaginable, to even think of India hosting international matches for the next 2-3 months.

I don't remember any international team refused to play in India due to security issue in the past 10 years but this still exists in Pakistan and other countries so India has no security issues for conducting the cricket but the issue is pandemic which is getting more worsen everyday in major cities where the cricket stadiums are primarily located.

I think the last major terrorist attack that has occurred in India was the 2017 Bhopal–Ujjain Passenger train bombing, which was claimed by the Islamic State (ISIS). The one before that was the 2013 Patna bombings. Isolated incidents occur every now and then, but then you can't make a nation of 1.35 billion free from crime and terrorism. Life goes on as usual, and along with that the IPL as well.

What are we talking about, the only reason we are not seeing any cricket is because of the pandemic and not because of any internal security concerns, from what i see from the outside perspective Pakistan and India does have their fair share of terrorist activities every now and then and there are internal conflicts as well but there was no attack against cricket from what i know. Coming to the present situation majority of the countries might not send their players to India for the IPL because of the pandemic and the situation in India is not getting better either.

^ I don't think BCCI will be looking to host IPL in country like Sri Lanka because they have always security issues due to inside war causes so BCCI will choose UAE if possible. But I am not seeing any news regarding cricket in local media for too long, that's why I thought IPL 2020 has been completely cancelled.

I am sure you wake up after many years because now Sri Lanka is very safe country and no security issues they already done some very good improvements in many fields and BCCI is not going to face any issue regard this but right now no one is sure about this because all things going in limbo until we are not sure about twenty/20 world cup announcement.

Not really, you can see even in 2019 there was a bomb blast in Churches and Luxury hotels.Still there are riots between two communities in SL so I don't think many countries will never allow their players to play on that kind of place.

I think all the South Asian country (Pakistan , India , Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) have some safety issue. but if government military takes responsibility for the security of everyone then I think it is not impossible Sri Lanka can host the IPL. on the other hand UAE is safer than others. BCCI can host IPL on UAE. Actually, I don't know why they talk about hosting IPL on Sri-Lanka instead of UAE.

I don't remember any international team refused to play in India due to security issue in the past 10 years but this still exists in Pakistan and other countries so India has no security issues for conducting the cricket but the issue is pandemic which is getting more worsen everyday in major cities where the cricket stadiums are primarily located.

Never heard of any such issues with India, infact from IPL itself we can come to know that how much safety exists where all international players come for the event and participate in it. In some other countries there has being issues in the past and due to which there are few matches might be conducted or probably no matches might be held. Infact there are many cricket stadiums as well across many states.
