Former Pakistan cricketer and PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja had to face a lot of flak on social media for putting Babar Azam in the same sentence as the legendary Sir Vivian Richards.
In an earlier statement, Ramiz had commented on Babar’s Test snub and said that he has a lot to prove in red-ball cricket. He also went on to add that Babar has so much potential that he now has to prove that he is Vivian Richards through his temperament.
“Ab unko apne temperament se batana hai duniya mei ke woh ek Viv Richards hain (now he has to prove to the world with his temperament that he is Viv Richards). Bigger the contest, bigger the innings Richards used to play,” Ramiz said.
These comments however, didn’t sit well with the fans on social media who mocked Ramiz for even thinking of comparing the West Indian legend to Babar, who can’t even find a spot in Pakistan’s Test squad at the moment.
