I am not excited it's u Bangladesh fans who are, I created this as some of u Bangladesh fans think he is better then Tendulkar. Won't be surprised a comparison thread by u guys with kholi or root.

He just started off. He has scored more runs in this series than the following batsman:

Virat Kohli with 22 centuries
Mushfiqur with an average of 49 in the last 3 years
 
This is a very stupid thread. Allow both the young players to play considerable amount of cricket before judging them. These type of threads and hype hinder their development and put extra-ordinary pressure on players.
 
How does it? Please do explain. It's their to see how they progress.
 
I know there are not too many here who would have watched the third day of the first test match between Bangladesh and South Africa.

Here is what the South African commentator (Morne Van Wyk and Neil Manthorp) had to say about Liton Das

1/ He timed the ball better than any other batsman from both teams

2/ Played the best shot in the innings (straight drive of Steyn)

3/ Never looked flustered and looked in complete control.

Here is what I think

1/ He plays all his power shots on the ON side, however he played some glorious cuts on the off side with sheer timing. So it is unfair to say he has no offside game

Finally, it is unfair to compare the babar with Liton... they are different types of player to be honest. I dont know about babar but Liton is definitely here to stay...
 
Litton Das in ODI's

Babar Azam in tests.

I just have a gut feeling about it. Don't quote me on this.
 
Babar's started off good.

2 fifties in his 4 Odi innings so far.

Already ahead of Das in the runs count even though Das has played 9 matches.
 
liton das has had a horrible start to his ODI career no doubt. Did rather well in tests though, nothing significant.

This thread should not be bumped in a year.
 
I was thinking to bump this since both Babar & Litton played today.
 
i would wait for a few more matches before i ask all of you mortals to hail me.
 
I like both these batsmen . Both are super talents .

Litton probably has one extra gear for shorter formats , while in longer ones both should do well .
 
I cant say much about #Litton Das now.
But I am really hopefull that he has got that extra edge as more talented than others who are in his age as Haturu,Mash and selectors are persisting with him despite his bad starts especially when Rony didn't get much chances with Anamul also warming the bench. If he was not special i think Coach would easily put him down after 3/4 failures. Like he did with Rony. But no they are persisting with him.
Also in many Interviews some local coaches and ex players said that "Litton is potentially more talented than Soummo and Sabbir. He's just in a really bad form." Also Nasir Hussein the Bangladeshi all rounder said few days back that 'Litton is one of the most technically strong and elegant batsman I played with'.
All these statements above proves anything but Litton is the special one.

:srtNOW: My belief is Litton should be dropped from next ODI series squad or at least from the playing 11. As Soummo will definitely grab his position back. BTY feeling Anamul was bit unlucky.

Azam piling up the 50s against quality bowling overseas while Litton's highest score is 36 in the same number of matches.
 
:)))

This is nearly as bad as Mustafizur vs Aamir. Deluded bangalis:)))

Bengalis could have bet their lives that das was better than azam in 2015. Where r they hiding now?
 
The only thing Liton got over Babar at this point are looks.

Otherwise, Liton Dada is no competition for Babar Bhai.
 
I was about to open this thread to see there is already one on it.
Hopefully Babar sees this as an insult and the universe mojo helps him better his form.
Litton has easily outperformed him here.

its ofcourse expected that Some BD fans will say litton >> Babar

And for Pakistani fans to claim Babar >> Litton.

Lets bookmark this thread and bump it again a year later. Even if one of them get off to a flyer, it still won't tell us whether one is considerably better than the other. Yeah for now we can judge them based on domestic performance. By which Litton is supreme to Babar who on the contrary has had some good stats in U-19 level. Litton performed in U-19 level but given the hype Babar Azam has I think he did better in such formats. In my opinion, the word potential has no value. The word "Ability" is the more polished word for potential. Lets see which of them is "more able" and whether these player makes most use of their "ability"

lol Bumping it 9 years later! What’s your opinion now?

Babar in LOI was better was 7 years..
 
Liton is a crunch player, all of his four centuries came when Bangladesh were under tremendous pressure. My vote goes for Liton Das.
 
2-3 years ago, I would've said Babar easily.

Right now, Babar is out of form. So, at this moment, Litton wins.
 
Who would’ve thought the day would come for your beloved Babar to be compared to Liton Das?

I think he’s got a point tho. Look at it from BD’s perspective - winning a test series vs. Pak is pretty decent (or at least was before the catastrophic decline lol), winning one in Pak is an historic achievement.

Das played a key role in an overseas Test series victory. I don’t think Babar can say that, so, in at least Tests one can say Liton is more “clutch” while, overall Babar is still better by sheer stats.

Nah he is , yes Babar is not performing from last 2 year still he is done more than das so overall Babar is way ahead of him.

Babar only has 5 odi centuries against top bowling attacks and full strength teams, 1 test century against full strength team.

His t20 centuries, Test centuries and other 14 odi centuries cone against weaker attacks.

And in those 5 odi centuries he lost 3 games, 2 to England and 1 to Australia and sa was won thanks to tailenders, Babar vanished when team needed him. It's only NZ 2019 game that worked. Throughout his career he's only managed 3 notable innings, Australia in test, Nz 2019 and India in 2021.

Meanwhile das has

A) Scored 3 test centuries when the team was done and stated at 25 to 50 for 5 and 6, and from their managed wins and draws

B) His 126 against afghanistan dealing with a nightmare spin attack is > What Babar can do against said opposition.

C) He also scored a century againat India in 2018, the same B string opposition that dogwalked pakistan and walked all over babar.

Yes das has underachieved in odi and overall he has the lesser numbers however if das played as many games against West Indies and Zimbabwe and sri lanka as Babar did you'd see a total different story. Das has spammed against Zimbabwe as well.

Babar is better at stat padding and no doubt getting 3 back to back 100's is impressive but das is 100% the better test batter.

Babar is > in odi though I agree
 
Litton Das. Babar can only dream about scoring 100 from 26/6 position.Litton played one of the greatest knock under pressure .Litton is class, but babar is softie

FastBowlingAllrounder said:
Yeah I’d agree… The argument that Das has had more impact is credible imo and that’s what I (tried to) say in my earlier post too.
Click to expand...
Das is the better test batter and the more impactful odi batsmen.

It's incredible that a player from bamgaldesh who bats at 7 mustered 3 ATG centuries from a totally lost position.

Das has 4 test centuries and 3 of them are ATG knocks, and all these knocks are massively superior to virtually anyone playing in our test circuit atm.

By no means is das an atg however those 3 knocks are defo ATG knocks that he played and that is beyond Bobby's caliber.

Babar is overall the better odi bat though I agree.
 
Babar Azam has been a better performer. However, Litton Das has significantly contributed to his team's growth, whereas Babar's influence on Pakistan has been somewhat negative.

Everyone knows that Babar is softie and i already said das is more clutch player .

Still babar stats is pretty good in limited overs so i rate him better than das.
 
Liton Das has played a knock Babar cannot even in his dreams

Forgot that 196 against Australia?

Litton did well in this series as compared to Babar who was a nobody in this series but it does not mean that 1 guy is better than other.

The context in which Liton played that knock puts it leagues ahead of Babar Azam’s knock.

As I said, Litton did well in this series for sure. But overall, Babar is still ahead of Litton as a batter.

Let’s be honest about it, Bobsie bhai is the King of soft runs

Lit on has lived a hard life but he went on to have a good career and win a historic test series for his country of birth.

2nd test match innings from Liton and Mehdy were ATG level knocks. From 26/6 to reach 262/10 is no joke. I don't remember any such Babar innings where he single-handedly changed the course of the match
 
I have never rated Babar. But come on, recency bias is clearly affecting posters in this thread.
 
Babar isn't even the best middle order batsmen from Pakistan so a disservice is being done with Liton comparing him with

Saud Shakeel, Omair Yusuf, Saad Khan, Khawaja Nafay, Fakhar Zaman, Sharjeel Khan, Kamran Ghulam, Saim Ayub and probably 5 other guys are all vastly more talented than him and if they were given the same rope as Babar they would have easily surpassed him with regards to impact
 
Babar used to be a mediocre talent with work ethics, that's what kept him rather unremarkable but still world class.

Now he is a mediocre talent with inflated ego. That's the sad reality.

It reflects the stupidity of people, it doesn’t make the comparison any worthwhile.

If I compare Shan Masood with Alastair Cook, it won’t make Cook look bad. It would just make me look like a total fool

Liton played a great knock. He did it for his country but it also made the Global Hindu community happy too. Given the context of the match and the geopolitical situation I think his knock is one of the best in cricketing history because of the pressure on him.

In that match, Usman scored 160 runs ( 2nd inning he was 40 plus not out), Abdullah 96, Rizwan 104 not out.

Not really even in the ball park of what Das did here.

Having said that, I think poor form from Babar in the last 2 years is making people rate him too low. Yah, he is not a player for tough runs, that's for sure. I mean, he has like 1 MOM in entire test career and his career is 50-60 tests long now.

I think Babar has scored enough to still be rated above Das, but not for tough runs. He simply doesn't have those runs.

No it has not.

Babar is alot better at bullying weaker attacks then das pre 2022.

The fact he has 3 back to back centuries against both west indies and sri lanka is extremely impressive and regardless of the quality of bowling, soaring 3 back to back 2x is a monumental achievement and it's something I don't see Das pulling off.

Hence Babar in prime is easily the better batter if you factor in that Babar thrives on bullying weaker attacks and even so it's impressive since West indies and sri lanka and Zimbabwe are professional teams.

To top it off Babar also has a 158 against England, a 101 against nz on a difficult pitch, a century againat sa etc etc.

Babar is 100% the better batter then das in odi. However

Das is superior in test. A test batter playing 3 atg knocks at 7 rescuing his team from a lost position of 25/50 of 5 of 6 3x in a row is beyond babar's caliber. Against pakistan you could clearly tell das is experienced againat playing with the tail because he's done so 2 times prior.

And his century against afghanistan and 2018 India is > Bobby career in odi.

Babar is not a bad batter and people are blowing this thread out of proportion due to his current form, however even in his prime his biggest issue was that he was a certified soft scorer. Brilliant at bullying and winning games against weaker opposition but is unable to handle wc pressure and able to keep up the consistency against top quality full strength attacks.

Das is a great batter considering the country he comes from whereas babar azam considering the greats the country has produced is nothing more then a bootleg yousaf, am accumulator who lacks the ability to take you over the line and also has more technical flaws then yousaf as a whole.
 
Das > Babar in test

Babar > Das in odi.

As for t20, don't really care.
 
If you are talking about hitting ability, Litton Das is better. I think he can hit bigger and more sixes (based on what I have seen).

If you are talking about textbook batting, Babar is better.
 
Babar is better in all formats.

Das is a good player and can be compared with Rizwan. You don't compare him with the "Best since Fab Four".
 
Over all Babar looks better but I would say Babar is better in ODIs, litton is better than him in red ball atm.
 
Litton is supposed to be like Babar, an all format player. Litton has long long way to go before even being compared with one of the greatest LOI player.

Surprisingly Litton best format is Test.
