Ex-Pak Coach: 'Kohli is Nothing Compared to Babar Azam'

Former Pakistan interim head coach Mohsin Khan sparked controversy by stating that Virat Kohli is "zero" compared to Babar Azam. Speaking on a local TV show, he attributed Pakistan cricket’s struggles to a lack of planning, merit, and accountability, criticizing the system for prioritizing personal interests over the team’s progress. Reflecting on his tenure as chief selector, Mohsin emphasized that merit-based selection was his priority. However, Pakistan cricket continues to face challenges, with Babar Azam under mounting pressure due to his inconsistent performances. Since August 2023, he has failed to score a century, and despite being promoted as an opener in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, his scores have remained modest—10, 23, 29, 64, and 23. As scrutiny intensifies over his form and leadership, Pakistan cricket remains in turmoil, struggling to regain stability and competitive momentum on the global stage.
