Srinagar: England leg-spinner Adil Rashid has given his verdict on a best cover drive between India superstar Virat Kohli and Pakistan batter Babar Azam.
While speaking during a Podcast, Adil Rashid and his compatriot Moeen Ali shed light on the cover drives of two modern-day greats of the game.
Moeen, however, redirected the fan question to Rashid due to his vast experience of bowling to these two batters.
“He’s a big fan of Babar, you know,” Moeen Ali said on Rashid’s admiration for Babar Azam rather than his cover drive.
“I think Babar’s cover drive,” Rashid said while praising Kohli for elegance in his straight drive and whip.”
In addition to this, Adil Rashid picked former England batter Ian Bell as the best cover driver and India’s legend Rahul Dravid, who had the best defense in international cricket.
“I prefer Ian Bell because he made it look so easy while Rahuld Dravid had the best defense,” he said.
Moeen Ali, on the other hand, picked Virat Kohli over Babar Azam for playing the most elegant cover drives.
