The cover drive is a classic and stylish batting move in cricket, showcasing a batter’s grace and skill. It's a beautiful shot when done perfectly, but a small mistake can lead to losing a wicket.

India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli and Pakistani star batter Babar Azam are widely recognized as two of the best at playing the cover drive. Both Kohli and Babar have this shot as their signature stroke and can play it better than most batters in the world.

Fans often compare their cover drives, sparking debates about who does it better. Recently, during a Q&A session with ESPNcricinfo, Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz was asked about picking his favorite between Kohli and Babar's cover drives.

After some thought, Gurbaz chose Kohli over Babar as the better player of the cover drive shot in the world.

Babar will be seen in action in the opening game of the three-match Test series against Australia on December 14 in Perth. On the other hand, Kohli will next be seen on the field in the two-match Test series in South Africa, starting on December 26.
