Virat Kohli and Babar Azam are GOATS of modern-day cricket. While the Pakistan skipper is currently dominating in all formats of cricket, Kohli rediscovering his lost form ahead of the T20I World Cup has sent a wave of confidence in the Team India camp. Although Kohli’s experience and records put him in a league of his own, Azam’s batting and leadership qualities have made the Pakistan team a force to reckon with in recent times.
So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that cricket lovers from both nations love to compare Kohli and Azam’s batting prowess- one that is equal parts elegant and stunning.
But did you know the two cricketers from arch-rival nations are essentially the same person? At least these photos from their respective childhoods suggest so.
“How come, both babar & kohli are wearing the same shirts," a Twitter user wrote as they shared photos of Azam and Kohli dressed in similar flannel shirts in their childhood.
How come, both babar & kohli are wearing the same shirts ðŸ˜
