Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram feels that it's too early to compare Babar Azam with Virat Kohli. 

In a press conference organised by Star Sports ahead of the Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan, Akram said that Babar has been very consistent, because he has got the right technique. He is very hungry and very fit. He is still a young captain but is learning very fast. 'Babar is on the right track to be where Virat Kohli is but to compare him with him at this stage is too early,' feels the former fast bowler.

Akram also called the criticism towards Virat by Indian fans unnecessary. 'He is one of the greatest of all times not just in this era and is still one of the best fielders in the Indian squad. As they say class is forever and that is Virat Kohli. Hope he doesn't come back to form against Pakistan but he will come back eventually,' Akram added.
