Not a high bar but since the comparison is between these two, i have to say Mohammad Rizwan, his body language on the ground, in the field and while batting under pressure is better. He has also played more match winning knocks under pressure in comparison to the hype job Babar Azam.
 
Do I have to remind you of the legside hack of Rizwan vs Bumrah (WT20)?
But Babar takes the cake - one of the if not the most timid cricket player ever, can not even take 1% of pressure on.
 
This is such a funny question that I can't think of an answer. It's like asking which apple between two sour ones is the sweetest

Yeah I mean the Serie A was all about Sheva and Pato….


And not the Legendary AC Milan side lead by Maldina.. or the GOAT Italian defenders…or the world class strikers of Inter….or the class of Del Piero….or the great technician Pirlo…or the Passion of Totti at Roma….The gigantic Juventus sides…


I mean we all stopped watching Serie A because Shevchenko and Pato left it and this will be the same case if Babar and Rizwan leave the PSL :ROFLMAO:

Very well said.

PATOOOO 😂😂😂

His football career was short lived.

There should be a comedy show with all these Babar and Rizwan fans.

Episode 1: Babar can hit 6 x 6s in a super over
Episode 2: Babar vs Imad
Episode 3: Rizwan is GOAT. Time to eat feet

Yes according to @Raja Ishtiaq Rizwan is the GOAT because he scored 76 off 45 against Lahore Qalandars. After the loss to his team, we can enjoy Siri Paye goat feet because those runs were pretty useless!
 
Rizwan is better considering his limited talent (in comparison to Babar). He toiled hard in domestics during Sarfaraz era and became a regular member of the team. For all his faults, he is the best wicket keeper batsman in Pakistan's history.

Babar on the other hand is mentally very weak and still lives under the shadow of his father. Many years ago when Babar was doing well, I posted here about his timidity and how someone like Saud is mentally more resilient. Babar needs to transform his personality and outlook on life.

Yeah the best wicket keeper Batsman in Pakistan history turned Pakistan into a minnow? How does that work?

You can’t be the best ever if the team you are a regular in is absolute crap! The best keeper batters are the ones who were part of the strongest Pakistan sides and maintained their spots for a long time in those teams.

Now, think about it again.
 
If we compare both on the basis of technique, talent, skills and opportunities. Babar triumphs Rizwan on all these aspects. But, Rizwan being limited on all these parameters, have been more match winner and impactful than Babar Azam. So I would say Rizwan is more impactful than Babar despite limited skills and talent.

While as I say this, this doesn't mean these two are best, both have endless limitations considering modern game, but since the comparison here is between these two, so I would say Rizwan > Babar.

Who is better wk batsman than Rizwan according to you ?
 
Rizwan is mentally tougher and more resilient. If we compare the two in terms of ability, Rizwan is a below average batsman, while Babar, despite being massively overrated by some Pakistani fans, is a good batsman. The fact that Rizwan has managed to have the career he did is down to his mental toughness and resilience. Babar is mentally weak and if Rizwan had Babar’s mental toughness, he would have never played international cricket. While if Babar had Rizwan’s mental toughness and resilience, he perhaps could have reached the heights that his Fanclub thought he would.
 
Babar's mental block atm is greater than anyone else including riz.

Rizwan is pretty could in playing a release shot to get out of trouble but babar relies on classic approach which is not the way to go in modern day batting.
 
Rizwan obviously. He's older and wiser than Babar and plus has already overcome injustice early in his career when he was being left out for Akmal type keepers. Also let's not forget the religious aspect which keeps him grounded. He knows that there is more to life than cricket.

بابر اعظم اور محمد رضوان کے انسٹاگرام اکاؤنٹس بھارت میں بند کردیے گئے

اس سے قبل پاکستان کے اولمپک جیولن تھرو چیمپئن ارشد ندیم کا انسٹاگرام اکاؤنٹ بھی بھارت میں بلاک کر دیا گیا تھا۔

So, India stooping this low , Instagram account of RizBar The true Patriots blocked.

India is making sure anyone from Pakistan does not profit in any shape or form from India. They will likely extend this other individuals and companies and tell them if you want to do business with India, cut off all ties with Pakistan. The ICC funding will likely be next. Ramiz Raja foresaw this.

But you’re forgetting that Babar scored 53 off 49 balls. He’s the one doing Misbah proud, not Rizwan!
