    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, May 15:<\/strong>&nbsp;England spinner Adil Rashid has said that on the basis of current form, he would pick Pakistan&#39;s limited-overs skipper Babar Azam over Indian captain Virat Kohli.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>While 31-year-old Kohli is widely rated as the current best batsmen in the world across formats, 25-year-old Babar has been hailed by commentators and experts as the next big thing in batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Ahhh... it&#39;s a tough one. Well, it&#39;s a tough one. So you got to go on the current form... I think I got to go for Babar Azam on current form. I am taking form here...I say Babar Azam is in better form so I picked Babar Azam. But they both are world class players anyway,&quot; the leg-spinner, who won the World Cup in 2019, said during an interview with At the Crease TV.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kohli has experienced a rare dip in form this year before the coronavirus pandemic brought a halt to all cricket action. He managed just 218 runs in 11 innings across formats in India&#39;s tour of New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Babar, on the other hand, had scored a masterful 143 in the only Test he played this year against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. He was then in a fine run of form at the Pakistan Super League, scoring 345 runs at an average of 49.29 before the suspension of the league.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
