Fans on Twitter reacted as premier Indian batter Virat Kohli has named his favourite cover drive player. They were on the same page with the former Indian skipper and said that cover drives played by the left-handers are treat to watch.
“My favorite cover drive player is Kumar Sangakkara,” says Virat Kohli
It’s fair to that the cover drive is the most beautiful shot in the game of cricket. Over the years, there have been many players who have played this particular shot to perfection and have taken World Cricket by storm.
The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Babar Azam, Kumar Sangakkara and many others mastered the art of playing the cover drive and have scored plenty of runs with their shot.
While it’s hard to rate who has the best cover drive in the world, it’s fair to say that currently, Virat Kohli is the master of this shot. This is the shot that has given him a lot of success and he fancies playing this stoke a lot.
But Virat Kohli himself rates Sri Lanka legend Kumar Sangakkara as the best cover driver in the world. When asked about who is his favourite cover diver player he said: “My favorite cover drive player is Kumar Sangakkara”
Virat Kohli said "My favorite cover drive player is Kumar Sangakkara".
