Shoaib Akhtar thinks Babar can’t break Tendulkar’s record but Kohli can

Former Pakistan speedster Shoaib Akhtar has said that Pakistan skipper Babar Azam cannot break Sachin Tendulkar’s record, but India’s Virat Kohli can surpass Tendulkar’s record.

Talking to Geo News in ‘Jashn-e-Cricket’, Akhtar said: “I don’t think Babar can break Tendulkar’s record. Only Kohli can break Tendulkar’s record.”

“Babar will have to work hard to get ahead of Virat Kohli,” Shoaib added.

The legendary right-arm quick predicted that Kohli would score more than 100 centuries before retirement.

In One-Day Internationals, Kohli has completed 43 centuries and 64 half-centuries in 259 matches, while Babar has scored 14 centuries and 17 half-centuries in 83 matches.
