While Azam, Sri Lanka\u2019s Dhananjaya de Silva, England\u2019s James Vince and Australia women\u2019s captain Meg Lanning were chosen as the top four, Bell\u00a0feels that India captain Virat Kohli is at the top of the list when it comes to playing this shot alongside Babar.<\/p>\n

\u201cOut of that four definitely Babar Azam\u00a0but it\u2019s Virat Kohli\u00a0<\/span>for me! Both amazing cover drivers!\u201d Bell wrote.<\/p>\n

It must be noted that Babar is amongst the best when it comes to playing cover drive. He has been often praised by many cricketers for this charismatic shot.<\/p>\n
