Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was elated at being praised by India star Virat Kohli and detailed the mutual respect that exists between them.

Kohli had conveyed his admiration and recalled his first meeting with Pakistan's star batter Babar Azam in an interaction with Star Sports last year.

"I saw a lot of regard and respect from him from day one, and that hasn't changed. Regardless of the fact he's probably the top batsman in the world across formats, performing so consistently and rightly so. He has amazing talent and I’ve always enjoyed watching him play.

"So that (Babar’s attitude) hasn’t changed because he’s performing now, and he’s coming into his own. I don’t see his attitude or approach changing towards me."

Babar reacted to Virat’s comments ahead of the Asia Cup on Star Sports, and discussed Virat’s influence on his game.

"It feels really good. When someone talks about you like this. And what Kohli has said, has made me very proud and happy."
