Srinagar: Afghanistan star cricketer Rashid Khan has given his verdict between Babar Azam and Virat Kohli about who plays cover drive better.
Rashid asked to name players who excel in specific shots in the game of cricket.
“I think Virat Kohli plays that shot [cover-drive] better than anyone in the world. His cover-drive looks good and sounds good,” Rashid said when asked about Cover Drive in a video posted by ESPNCricinfo.
However, when asked if Pakistan’s Babar Azam is a close second to Kohli in terms of executing the best cover-drive, Rashid acknowledges that Babar indeed comes very close.
“Yes, definitely, Babar is very close [second]. It is tough competition between Babar and Virat and also Kane Williamson,” he added.
In the same conversation Rashid Khan ranked former Pakistan skipper Younis Khan as the best on to play sweep shot.
“Younis Khan is someone who played the sweep shot better than anybody else. I learn by watching his YouTube videos and observing him play the sweep shot,” Rashid said.
