“I am the world number one,” Pakistani batter Khurram Manzoor had previously stated. Virat Kohli has regained his golden touch, as evidenced by his recent run of triple-digit runs scored. Kohli is behind me.
He is currently second only to Sachin Tendulkar in international tons. Kohli, who hadn’t scored a century in T20Is in more than three years, scored his first century in the Asia Cup’s match against Afghanistan.
Since then, the 35-year-old batsman has scored three centuries in his last nine ODI matches. He is only three tons away from equaling Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI tons. Tendulkar used to bat for India.
However, a seasoned Pakistani batter has recently stated that he has a better List A record than Kohli. Khurram Manzoor.
Who has represented Pakistan in 16 Test matches, seven One-Day International matches, and three Twenty20 International matches, was recently asked about his claim that his List A scores were higher than Kohli’s.
Manzoor, who last played for Pakistan in 2016, made it clear that he was highlighting his domestic cricket accomplishments rather than comparing himself to the former India captain.
I’m not comparing myself to Virat Kohli. The fact of the matter is that I am the best 50-over cricket player in the world, regardless of who is in the top ten. Because he scores a century every six innings, Kohli is behind me.
I set a world record by scoring a century every 5.68 innings.”As far as List A cricket is concerned, I am ranked fifth in the world,” Manzoor stated on Nadir Ali’s Podcast. Over the past ten years, my average has been 53.
Following the statement, Manzoor was made fun of, and he has since clarified his position. The way that some people and media outlets have twisted my interview and my words are funny. Virat Kohli has always been my favorite player of his generation.
I talked about this statistic about having the best innings per hundred ratios in List A Cricket, where Kohli is second and I lead the chart.
In a series of tweets, Manzoor wrote, “There is no comparison between me and him. He has played more games, the majority of which have been played internationally.
