Zimbabwe’s batting star Sikandar Raza recently headlined his team’s back-to-back series win over Bangladesh. The cricketer charted 252 ODI runs and 127 T20I runs across six white-ball games against the visiting Bangladeshi side, thus guiding The Chevrons to a 2-1 win in both contests.

A few days after the home series, Raza interacted with Anis Sajan on the latter’s YouTube channel. During their extensive conversation, the cricketer named his favourite captain and also picked his preferred batter between India’s Virat Kohli and his Pakistani counterpart Babar Azam.


“Virat Kohli ultimate all-format player” – Sikandar Raza

When asked to choose his favourite batter between Virat Kohli and Babar Azam, Raza picked the Indian legend while terming him as the “ultimate all-format player”.

The Zimbabwean also hailed the former Indian captain for his fitness levels and compared him with the likes of Tiger Woods and Muhammad Ali for “revolutionising the sport”.

The Zimbabwe veteran also named 2011 World Cup-winning skipper MS Dhoni and New Zealand’s run-merchant Kane Williamson as his favourite captains in world cricket. When asked to pick just one between the two, Raza hesitated for a while before choosing the former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman as the ultimate leader.
