In today’s fallout from Pakistan’s recent tour of the West Indies, Ahmed Shehzad spoke out against the public habit of comparing Babar Azam to Virat Kohli, calling it unfair and counterproductive.

Shehzad warns that comparing Babar to someone on Kohli’s level will put pressure on the Pakistani batter. He further added that such comparisons can lead to hindered performance for Babar.

“Virat Kohli’s comparison cannot be made with anyone in the world. He is a legend of this generation … No one should be compared with anyone because it’s unfair and it adds extra pressure, which we are now seeing on Babar Azam.”

In the West Indies ODI series, he managed just 56 runs across three games at an average of 18.66 — a concerning decline in form.

Shehzad’s remarks add depth to the discussion around forming healthy expectations for athletes, reminding fans and analysts that each player shines in their own context—not in someone else’s shadow.
