Muralitharan Babar Azam One of the greatest cricketers of all time and former Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has heaped big praise on Pakistan’s Babar Azam.

In a recent interaction with former Indian cricketer – Akash Chopra – on ESPNCricinfo, he was asked to name the current players who could have played him well. The former off-spinner named both the captains of India and Pakistan.

“Kohli would have been tough as he is a good player of spin. Babar Azam, I’ve never seen but looks like one of the better players because he is from the subcontinent,” Murali said.
