Babar Azam has to prove to the world that he is Viv Richards: Ramiz Raja’s sky-high remarks on former Pakistan captain
Ramiz Raja makes huge comments on Babar Azam
Former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has made some bold claims about Babar Azam, saying that the current skipper needs to prove to the world that he is on par with legendary West Indian batter Viv Richards.
Raja, who is now the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), said that Azam has the potential to be one of the greatest batsmen of all time, but he needs to step up and perform on the big stage.
Azam has big shoes to fill
Richards is considered one of the greatest batsmen of all time, and Raja believes that Azam has the talent to reach similar heights.
However, he also acknowledged that Azam has a long way to go before he can be compared to Richards.
Raja’s comments come at a time when Azam is under pressure to perform
Raja’s comments come at a time when Azam is under pressure to perform. Pakistan has not won a major ICC trophy since 1992, and Azam is seen as the man who can lead them to glory.
However, he has struggled for form in recent months, and his captaincy has also been questioned.
Can Azam live up to the hype?
It remains to be seen whether Azam can live up to the hype and become one of the greatest batsmen of all time.
However, Raja’s comments will certainly give him motivation, and he will be determined to prove that he can reach the same heights as Richards.
