Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed terms India star batter Virat Kohli as an inconsistent batter. 

Fans compare Babar with Kohli always. There is a war of words between the supporters of the two countries on social media. But the fact is - both have respect for each other. However, like the fans, Aaqib has kept Kohli behind Babar.

He has good reason to hold back. Kohli has not been in his previous form since 2019. Kohli is not even in the list of top 10 Test players in the last three years. On the other hand, Babar is also the highest run scorer in all formats. In an interview given to 'Events & Happenings Sports’, Aaqib said, "How long is Rohit Sharma going to play? About Kohli, if you compare him with Babar, then he has one outstanding season and then there is a decline. He is a brilliant player but in patches. He is not as consistent as Babar. That is why I'm saying this is Pakistan's best chance to beat India again in a World Cup match."

Many cricket experts are placing Pakistan in the semi-finals of this World Cup. Along with Australia, England, India, the name of Pakistan is also mentioned. Especially since the conditions of the subcontinent will also give additional benefits to Pakistan. Aaqib feels that the current team has balance in all aspects.

"Many times you head into World Cup thinking this might be the last for a couple of players. This time I feel it is happening to India. When stars become larger than life, it becomes difficult for team management to make decisions. That is why, by looking and comparing all the departments, Pakistan have a very good chance this time," Aaqib added.
