He noted that if any Pakistani player had similar stats, their PR companies would have highlighted them extensively. Kamran’s assertion has sparked interest in the cricket community, with many acknowledging Umar’s talent.
However, some have also pointed out Kohli’s impressive record in the tournament, including his highest run-getter title in the 2022 edition.The comparison between Umar and Kohli’s stats has initiated a discussion about their respective strengths in the T20 format.
While Kohli has been instrumental in India’s success, Umar’s performance in the T20 World Cups is notable.
