Babar Brushes Off Kohli Comparisons after PSL Clutch Escape
Babar Azam reckoned he'd finished plenty of matches like this one. After his 43 in the nail-biting chase of 146, he just said it flat out.
Babar Azam brushed off the Virat Kohli chatter right after Peshawar Zalmi nicked a 4-wicket PSL 2026 win, scraping home chasing 146 against Hyderabad Kingsmen. His 43 off 37 went early. Collapse followed. Iftikhar Ahmed's last-over hits got them over the line.
He quipped post-match that he's finished plenty of chases—no need for comparisons. PZ kept their nerve through that nail-biter. Solid start helped.
Talk of Kohli skips Babar's white-ball smarts. PSL moments like this show him cool when it counts.
