While Azam, Sri Lanka’s Dhananjaya de Silva, England’s James Vince and Australia women’s captain Meg Lanning were chosen as the top four, Bell feels that India captain Virat Kohli is at the top of the list when it comes to playing this shot alongside Babar.
“Out of that four definitely Babar Azam but it’s Virat Kohli for me! Both amazing cover drivers!” Bell wrote.
