Twitter’s Statistical Comparison between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam—Who is the GOAT?

Once more, the internet has done it. On Twitter, a new blaze erupted in the ongoing discussion between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli when a fan account published a side-by-side comparison of the two contemporary legends’ stats.
The article received thousands of likes and retweets in a matter of minutes, as well as, unsurprisingly, a deluge of impassioned, emotional, and humorous comments from fans in India and Pakistan.
However, is this merely another online screaming match, or is there anything else to it?

📊 The Figures That Began Everything
The tweet that went viral compared:
The total number of centuries scored in international cricket
Average batting performance by format
Knocks that won the game
Awards from the International Criminal Court
Records of leadership

A glance:
Total centuries and match victories are where Kohli excels.
In recent years, Babar has shown greater consistency and a greater average in ODIs.
The piece concluded with the question:
“Is King Kohli still the King of consistency, or has Babar taken his place?”
Prepare for mayhem.

🔥 Supporters Is React a Passion or a Pandemonium?
Indian supporters were prepared with figures:
"Kohli's career is about impact rather than data. He led Indian cricket through a shift period."
Pakistani supporters retorted:
"To demonstrate his class, Babar does not need to be aggressive. Take a look at his ODI average and his proficiency at ending games.
Some people created memes.
One person posted this:
“Kohli’s aura precedes him. Babar's cover drive is poetry in motion. Why not take pleasure in both?”
Perhaps the most mature viewpoint we saw was that one.

In conclusion, who is the true GOAT?
In truth, statistics alone hardly ever resolve GOAT (Greatest of All Time) disputes.
It’s about legacy, pressure, emotions, and moments.
Kohli has enjoyed greater international fame, reached greater milestones, and had a longer career.
Already among the greatest in the world, Babar is continuing to create his legacy of composure, elegance, and dependability.

The allure of cricket rivalries is that this discussion will go on for years. It’s about admiring talent from both sides of the border, not bringing athletes down.

We are fortunate to witness the talents of both masters at work, whether you are #TeamKohli or #TeamBabar.
Therefore, when they step out to bat again, put the numbers aside and take pleasure in the wonder.
Because rivalries come and go. However, cover drives endure forever.
