wonder if babar works out? honest question. like strength and conditioning. I think india followed what kohli does for his fitness regime, babar can be even better than kohli and smith.

Agree with this.Indian fans need to accept that Babar is miles better than KL in both tests and ODIs. They are par in T20s.
KL is also a stat farmer.
Pant, Gill, Shaw are the ones they should have hope for as far as competing with Babar goes.
Agree with this.
Babar is a far far better bat overall than Rahul.
Rahul has a higher gear of the two.
Rahul has a higher gear of the two.
Yes even Mehran has a fourth gear...
Seeing as Indian fans love hyping up their boy after he bashes a minnow lets do some analysis.
It's also important to note Rahul is almost 3 years older than Babar and is playing with Rohit Sharma and Kohli by his side. Babar is playing with Fakhar, Imam and Haris.
Test Matches
KL RAHUL
A guy playing under the number 1 test team you would think he has all the resources to be a top player right, no his average against the top 4 teams in the world is only 34 which is also his test match average. 34? Really and these guys want to compare him to Babar?

BABAR AZAM
When it comes to test matches against the top teams my boy Babar ups his game even though he's surrounded by bums. His average jumps up from 39 to 42 against the top 4 teams. This is outstanding considering how horrible his first 2 years in test were.

ODI Matches
KL RAHUL
This was the most shocking, this guy must be one of the biggest minnow bashers we've ever seen. A guy that averages 12 against the top teams and never even hit a 50. 12? And not even that he gets these 12 runs fast his SR is 66. I feel disrespected even writing this post comparing him to Babar.

Babar against the top teams in ODIs his average drops, but don't worry his average is 45 against top teams and this is still outstanding unlike a certain bum which averages 12.

T20I Matches
KL RAHUL
Nothing new here, same old minnow bashing by this fella however this time it's actually a decent average of a decent skilled batsman. T20I career average drops from 42 to 39.

BABAR AZAM
This guy is unbelievable vs top teams his T20 average jumps up to 57! His SR is not where it should be but even then against top teams it increases to 131.

Every single format Babar is better at average wise, and when you look at how KL Rahul's averages have been inflated by bullying minnows it shows the even larger gap in skill between the two batsmen. It's sad that our fellow Pakistani posters even have to reply to this thread come on guys i know for sure I won't be back on this thread.
Clear Babar is the superior batsman and I said that in the thread before even seeing these stats.
However you don’t need to disrespect KL Rahul for no reason and call him bum and whatnot. He’s not the one making comparison.
Neither is he a loudmouth nor toots his own horn like a certain Ahmed Shehzad used to (comparing himself to Hayden, Sachin etc on Twitter) that he deserves this much derision.
Simple fact is that he is a good player who would make our side most likely
Interesting thing is, both played together in U19 world cup match and failed.
Rahul got bowled for golden duck against Fayyaz.
Babar got bowled for 6 by Sandeep Sharma.
At that time, who would have thought both will be compared in the senior team.

Babar was actually the third highest run scorer in that tournament.
He scored 298 runs in 6 innings. An average of 59.60.
On the other hand, Rahul scored only 143 runs in 6 innings. An average of 28.60
Babar was seen as an emerging star in his u19 days. He captained the u19 side in 2012 as well.
Don't know if it was the same for Rahul though.
Yes even Mehran has a fourth gear...
Wonder what that makes KL Rahul then...Bit unfair to call Babar a Mehran
Wonder what that makes KL Rahul then...

It makes him someone who has a higher ceiling than Babar. Even if all doesn't go to plan and he doesn't deliver in the end, we have countless other players in the domestic circuit who can deliver and rise to the occassion. We aren't just reliant on 1 player to carry our hopes and dreams.

Total hack.
Lol.
Yeah finally now he’s somewhat worthy of being mentioned next to babar
Are you serious he averages 45 now plus I still don’t think he’s a test bat or a top order odi bat as well this is his natural Position he’s an attacking player who should be used as a finisher. He’s perfect for a situation when team needs quick runs that’s why he’s successful in t20s as well
His today's innings is better than all Babar's innings bar the one against NZ in the WC.
If you don’t think Rahul has immense ability you don’t understand cricket. He is too good a player to falter away.
While there is no doubt that Babar has had a better career so far, it is quite clear that Rahul possesses abilities that Babar doesn’t.
In other words, Rahul can play Babar type knocks but Babar cannot be as devastating as Rahul.
It is quite possible that Rahul would turn into another Rohit type story. India are persisting with him and have given him an A contract because they believe that he is a generational talent.
It is great to see him get his confidence back. He needs to play every match in every format.
Lel.Today pitch was as flat as it gets . Australia are gonna hammer india again .If u think KL rahul can play innings like babar then u r Delusional of Highest order Lol. he can play faster then babar he has more shots then babar but so does umar akmal the both dont posses the class and mental strength that babar had shown in last year .He is Going to fail on Every pitch that has something in it for bowler like rohit always does lel so Comparison with rohit is Correct in that sense
LOL again you getting way ahead of yourself this is why he doesn’t succeed it’s your nazar that keeps getting him. Man you need stop going crazy after one innings plus this innings he can’t even be compared to babar because he came in as a finisher babar is our main and only number 3 batsman in the country so this innings can’t be compared to any of babar innings.
Narrator: They didn't.Lel.Today pitch was as flat as it gets . Australia are gonna hammer india again .
List out Babar's innings that are of better quality than Rahul's innings tiday, your post is a nothing post and backed by knee jerk emotion not facts.

Babar's century against NZ in the world cup is just one. I could probably label several more but that was Babar's most important LO innings. Stop posting rubbish.
His newzeland innings plus I already said this innings can’t be compared to any of Babars innings he came in as a hitter today babar bats at number 3 that’s like comparing shahid afridi with Sachin Tendulkar after shahid afridi opens once in a while than comes down to number 6 to slog not comparable in any form or way.
lol what kind of logic is this? Just cuz you know you have nothing to show for so conveniently shifting the goalpost? Just accept it man Babar does not have what it takes to dominate a good bowling attack at a very good clip.He can't hit like this during slog overs.

Sachin could also not dominate the bowling as good as Afridi - after playing over 400 games most by anyone he couldn't beat Afridi 37 bowl 100 or even his second. Both yours and previous poster logic is stupid. You cant compare someone who comes from 5 down to someone who bats top 3 different ball game. Compare top order batsman with top order batman only.
Yes Afridi is the best since Viv, now please go troll somewhere else, I know you are free to quote me anytime but I would really appreciate if you don't waste my time with garbage like this.
Thanks
What was special about Rahul innings today? Just another innings in India where batsmen do this on a regular basis even raina played many such innings. Its not even on par with many Yuvraj played in the past.
Dominated a great bowling attack after coming out of a career threatening rough patch in a must win match. BTW India and Pakistan both would be extremely lucky if Rahul and Babar turn out to be half as good as a match winner as Yuvi was. It is an insult to the man who won two world cups to be compared with the likes of Rahul and Babar.
If KL Rahul works on his defensive technique, and do well in Tests, he can be as good as Kohli. But he has to develop a fool proof game to get there. At this point he is blessed with wide range of shots against pace and spin. His mental side is weak. I thought he was gone for good. Dhawan's injury was the luck he needed. He made the most of it. Hope he gets to where Kohli reached.
Kindly next time you want to compare a top order player with someone who bats at 6 please do it on another form so we don't have to read or respond to such illogical posts.
Rahul is a too is a order bat, pinky today he batted at 5 and still showed his adaptability and hitting prowess. It is perfectly fair to compare a no 3 bat with a opener, no 4 or 5 bat.
What about raina even he played many such innings? even kedar Yadav has played better innings? It just a good innings nothing special about it. If it was special due to his personal reasons then fine.
He came in at 5 which is lower order batsmen in LOI cricket. Top 3 is specialist positions and Number 4 is another position which is specialists and then lower order begins where you must have power hitters.
He cant be as good as Kholi anymore - he is already 28 in April. his got 4/5 years left in the team and then he will be shifted out with someone better or younger.
Pakistani bros before today : Babar is an universe beater and light years ahead of rahul, there is no comparison.
After today's innings : But but bro Babar plays at 3 and Rahul batted at 5 today, so there is no comparison.![]()
You're getting WAY too excited over a JAMODI.
You're acting like Rahul just scored a cenutry or something lol. He scored a 70 at home on a flat pitch when his team was cruising.
I'm actually LOL-ing so hard at how excited you are over this innings.
Your standards must be pretty low

It is hard to tower above two giants like Kohli, Rohit and the stellar performer like Dhawan and put up numbers out there. It is very very hard.
At least I am not hyping someone as the top 3 bat in the world with one match winning odi knock against top teams and 40 something average in test cricket. My standard may or may not be low but surely higher than you guys. Come back when Babar wins you a match bashing Starc and Cummins even at home.

Do you honestly believe that Rahul is on the same level as Babar after today's performance ?
I remember when you used to make fun out of Babar's test average when it was 30.
"30 something average in test cricket"
Now it's 40, you're still making fun out of it.
Looking at how desperate you are to degrade Babar, when he starts averaging 50, you're still make fun out of him
"Ha. Only a 50 something average in Test Cricket"
He doesn't need to tower over Kohli, Rohit and Dhawan. He needs to tower over the middle order which is a much easier task.
