Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt has said that each player, be it from any country, is in the playing XI due to his capabilities and it is unfair for a player to be compared to another's playing styles. There have been huge debates and discussions around the strike rates of certain batters in T20Is, especially the ones who mostly play an anchor role in the shortest format.
Be it Virat Kohli or Babar Azam, both have faced the wrath of experts at times for not going for the big hits. With the T20 World Cup campaign all set to begin for both India and Pakistan, all eyes will be on these two cricketers, if they can score at a high SR during their stay at the crease.
Kohli, for example, was heavily criticised due to his SR during IPL 2024 but he came back with a bang to score at a better SR during the middle overs.
