Web Desk: The never-ending talk about who’s better between star batsmen Babar Azam and Virat Kohli keeps fans hooked. Now, England’s spin bowler Adil Rashid has given his opinion on one specific, beautiful shot, adding a new twist to the friendly rivalry.
The big debate between cricket’s top batsmen, Babar Azam and Virat Kohli, got a new twist recently. England’s spin bowler, Adil Rashid, was asked a common fan question: whose cover drive looks better? On the “Beard Before Wicket” podcast, Moeen Ali passed the question to Rashid, who has bowled a lot to both players.
Without missing a beat, Rashid smiled and picked the former Pakistan captain. “Babar’s cover drive,” he said. Rashid is in a good spot to compare them, having bowled out both stars in different matches. He really likes Babar’s style.
Virat Kohli’s cover drive is strong and shows a lot of flair. But Babar Azam’s version is smoother and quieter, perfectly balanced with great head position. This calm and classic way of playing seems to really impress bowlers like Rashid.
Virat Kohli’s strong energy and attacking style are quite different from Babar’s calm manner and textbook technique. But these differences only make fans compare them more. While fans keep arguing over who’s better, both Kohli and Babar have always spoken highly of each other over the years, showing great respect.
In the end cricket fans might never agree on who wins the Babar vs. Kohli debate. But as long as they get to see these two amazing players show off their skills, especially with those elegant cover drives, the sport of cricket is the real winner.
