Ik their different, But their alot of similarities between the 2.
1) Babar and misbah are captains who captained for years but never achieved any icc tournament victory.
2) Both rizwan, Babar, And misbah bat with an insanely slow Strike rate for their respective era.
3) Both Babar and rizwan prefer opening just like shehzad, and Babar and rizwan are heavily overrated just like how Shehzad in his golden days was often compared to Kohli and was considered a once in a generational talent for scoring a 100 on debut and being the first pakistani bat to score 100's in all formats. Similarly Babar is often compared to kohli.
4) Both Babar, Rizwan and Misbah are often viewed as saviours/ oxygen of the team. And in recent times, Babar/Rizwan/ Misbah have divided the entire Pakistani fandom.
5) Misbah forwarded Ahmed shehzad, in the same way Babar/Misbah(as coach) forwarded Rizwan, infact misbah as coach brought back shehzad for opening before moving onto rizwan full time.
6) Ahmed shehzad early on his career was viewed as the next generational opener for Pakistan but overtime people realised he was overrated, slowly but surely the same trend seems to be following Babar and rizwan. Both players went from being goats, to being overrated to divided opinions on whether they should remain in the team or not.
7) As captains Both Babar and misbah shared similar controversies on team selection, Babar faces the amir/ Imad controversy whole Misbah faced the Younis Khan controversy slightly before his 2015 inclusion in the world cup.
Their are differences of course.
Misbah was an excellent red ball captain and a proper prodigy in terms of red ball cricket even equaling Viv's record and getting us a historic mo 1 ranking, No one can deny how gun he was as a test captain.
Rizwan is also viewed more positively then shehzad was, with shehzad being cited for attitude problems, Rizwan not having an attitude complaint and seems to be more cheerful and respected in league cricket and in his own dugout.
Misbah era also didn't feature that much social media as compared to today.
Idk, their are differences but the idea of history repeating itself is uncanny.
