During a recent appearance on Nadir Ali’s podcast, Manzoor, who has represented Pakistan in 16 Assessments, seven ODIs and three T20Is, was requested a couple of declare he had revamped his Record A numbers being higher than Kohli. He had clarified that his intention was to not evaluate himself with the previous India captain, however to focus on his achievements in home cricket.
“I’m not evaluating myself with Virat Kohli. Truth is, in 50-overs cricket, whoever are there within the top-10, I’m the world no.1. Kohli is behind me as he scores a century each six innings. I rating century each 5.68 innings, which is a world report. During the last 10 years, my common is 53, and I’m ranked fifth on this planet, so far as Record A cricket is anxious,” stated Manzoor.
Nevertheless, Butt feels that the feedback made by Manzoor are “irrelevant”, and identified Kohli’s daunting report in worldwide cricket, to again his declare.
“He stated that his conversion fee in higher than Kohli in Record A cricket, which is honest sufficient. However, one factor is lacking right here; Kohli has performed greater than 250 video games (in ODIs), and has higher conversion fee in worldwide cricket. You possibly can’t draw a comparability right here as there isn’t any worldwide cricket is miles forward of home cricket. It is irrelevant,” Butt said on his YouTube channel.
Notably, Kohli, who did not rating a ton for greater than three years, ended his century drought final yr within the Asia Cup in opposition to Afghanistan, which was his 1st hundred in T20Is.
Since then, the 35-year-old hasn’t regarded again, smashing three centuries in his final seven ODI outings.
