“Khuda Ka Khauf Kare”: Pakistan Expert’s Rant On Babar Azam-Sachin Tendulkar Comparison

Pakistan YouTuber and cricket expert Wasay Habib launched a fiery rant over comparisons between Babar Azam and legendary Indian cricket team batter Sachin Tendulkar. During an analysis on GTV News, Wasay was asked about some ex-Pakistan cricketers comparing Babar to Sachin but the cricket expert was not convinced. He went on to say that there is no chance of another comparison and pointed out that the comparisons first started with Virat Kohli, then Shubman Gill and now, the people have gone up to bring a legend like Sachin into the comparison.

“First [comparison of Babar Azam with] Virat Kohli, then Shubman Gill, and now you have jumped to Sachin Tendulkar! Have you seen Sachin play? Khuda ka khauf kare (Have the fear of God please). Please don’t ask me such a question; I am a passionate cricket fan. Who are these people asking such questions? How is Babar and Tendulkar comparisons even possible?,” he said in the viral clip.

Earlier, legendary Pakistan cricket team fast bowler Wasim Akram namedropped Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar while talking about Babar Azam’s batting.

“Babar is a very good player. He is among the three best batters in the world right now and he plays proper cricketing shots. Had he been a pinch hitter, then the bowler would know that he has a chance to get him out,” Wasim Akram said in a talk show.

“But Babar…for players like Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, it was difficult to bowl to them because they play good shots against good deliveries and hence gives you lesser opportunities to dismiss them. These are technically-good batters. But yes, bowl attacking lines in the first few overs just to check whether they are set on that particular track,” Akram added.
