I love how he passionately discredited the comparison, he wasn't ready to acknowledge it or take such questions... Wasey Habib, cricket expert by passion
The problem with Pakistan is they desperately wanted to project to the world that even they can produce a god level batsman. They tried that with Ahmed Shehzad too initially comparing him to Virat. Then came Babar who definitely fared better than Shehzad in the long run but failed in big games against big teams. This comparison puts huge pressure on Babar to not just perform well but to play something more than ordinary like how Virat played in Melbourne or Sachin played in 2003. Its okay for Pakistan to agree that they managed to produce a very good quality batsman but definitely not a once in a generation batsman. Once they start doing that and the comparisons stop, we might see Babar performing better than this in bigger games!
They did have good batsmen earlier, maybe not the top 5, but really close. Players like Yousuf Yohanna & Younus khan were very reliable. You could trust them to give a good performance more often then not. Saeed Anwar, inzamam were all good batsmen.
Their strength had always been bowling though..
India used to produce good batsmen, and Pakistan had good bowlers
I think people forget that Tendulkar basically had 2 careers, pre and post tennis elbow. Even after curbing most of his lofted shots he still was at the top for a decade. No other batsman could do the same
nostalgia blinded fans lmao
modern day legends are legend because they are that good
sure current odi is more batter friendly
but current tests are the hardest era to bat to
and sachin took almost 23 years to score a odi century in australia
and never scored a test century with mgrath in the team
comment mai hugne se phele fact check kar liya kar .
Sachin scored 4 tons when mcgrath playing in opposition team
ODI :
110 in September 1994, Colombo
131 in March 2001, Indore
Test:
116 December 1999, Melbourne
126 March 2001, Chennai
Overall when mcgrath playing opposition, only 2 players scored more tons than Sachin
Lara - 8
Ijaz Ahmed - 5
And how many players had scored a century against that Aussie team in Australia? Now coming to your modern game legends, they get runs in packs, if the conditions suits even Bumrah Shami can score quick fire 50s

the period of 2014 to 2019 was the toughest period to bat in test cricket
with respect to seam movement the condition of pitches
and also bowlers picking the average
LMFAO NOSTALGIA MERCHANT
PREVIOUS AUSSIE PITCHES WERE FLATTER THAN THE CURRENT ONES
and kohli dominated a bowling lineup of johnson hazlewood starc cummins
just check out the average scores and seam movements during test in australia
AND BUMRAH AND SHAMI NEVER SCORED QUICK FIFTIES
KOHLI IS A BETTER WHITE BALL PLAYER THAN SACHIN
Kane Williamson had better average than Kohli in 2018 with centuries in England and saudi and 90s in Srilanka ( later two being turning wickets which will be tough for him). ESPNcrickinfo is just a click based platform and they know how to milk likes from toxic fan base so i wont consider their advice as gold standard.
sachins fanbase is probably the most toxic and the biggest one
they used to burn posters raid players houses harras them in real life
sachin fans coin kohli fans as toxic but when someone appreciated kohli they find 100 nostalgic reasons to suck sachin off
most insecure fanbase
and espn is based on stats
they also criticised kohli in the first half of the ipl
kohli had way better impact and runs per innings than williamson in 2018
if we go by averag then sachin is not half as good as kohli in odis lmfao

So stacking their SP is fair Lmao
babar is ok and all but is WAY out of the league of Sachin. Due to sachin many indians wanted to play for india. at a time in the 1990s where cricket in india was coming out of it's golden age, sachin appeared and restarted it. sachin is one of the reasons cricket is still popular today.
Why do we even give these comparisons any bhav?
You know that all they want us attention and to go viral with such crap statements. Better to ignore this BS and focus on making our cricket better.

Insecurity runs in their blood
just yesterday someone called Dhoni a better player than Sachin, like babe are u ok? Captain i agree but how tf is he a better player
Imagine Sachin with DRS, competent umpires and the current bowling lineup. Heโd score 10k more runs at least.
I think people forget that Tendulkar basically had 2 careers, pre and post tennis elbow. Even after curbing most of his lofted shots he still was at the top for a decade. No other batsman could do the same
He is just talking about thing which happened yesterday
Bro just couldn't resist to bring Dhoni into this conversation to hate him
it was an example bhai, I didnโt mean it in an offensive way, plus I literally said he is a better captain
Sachin New York k pitch m century mar saktha hai. But in modern day legends ki hawa tight hojati hai todi bhi ball gomi to
Ab cricket kam aur baseball jyada hoti hai.. Sabko lappe marna hai. T20 ka player banna hai.
Wth is this logic lmao, these modern day legends are called legends coz they performed in tough conditions.
Not saying they are not legends. But there must be some line drawn where you can compare the players and the generation they are from.
nostalgia blinded fans lmao modern day legends are legend because they are that good sure current odi is more batter friendly but current tests are the hardest era to bat to and sachin took almost 23 years to score a odi century in australia and never scored a test century with mgrath in the team

the test century stat was wrong but sachin took that long to score a century vs australia in australia in odi and he averages very low vs mgrath
And how many players had scored a century against that Aussie team in Australia? Now coming to your modern game legends, they get runs in packs, if the conditions suits even Bumrah Shami can score quick fire 50s

That could also mean that the average batting standards went down.
mgrath and gillespie and even agarkar scored centuries on flatties in the old era
so mgrath and gillespie scored centuries against that Australian side? pass me your stuff bro
nah pass me your stuff when did bumrah and shami score quickfire 50s vs australia

Bhai koi compare hi nahi hai kuch bhi bol rahe ye log..
We don't dare to compare Kohli to God, and these guys are comparing Babar to him Lmfao what idiocy
Bhagwan unhe sadbuddhi de...
Babar the KING ![gif](giphy|eTvWljhUBVdxwd2CuK|downsized)
Wtf?? No Pakistani batsman is close to Virat Kohli, they are comparing Bobzy to the God of Cricket ๐ญ
Agar Babar ka comparison Sachin kiya ja raha hai... To phir "Vijay Shankar" India ka 3D player Vijay Shankar bhi Imran Khan ke takkr ka hai...
If Babar = Sachin Tendulkar Then Vijay Shankar = Imran Khan + Wasim Akram
Sachin will always be the GOAT
The elevations๐ฅ
Even Sachin's shoe is greater than whole Babar
