Former India captain Virat Kohli and current Pakistan skipper Babar Azam are among the two best batters in the game right now. Kohli continues to push the run-scoring ceiling to greater heights while Babar's consistency in all three formats of the game has come as a blessing for Pakistan. Both batters have orchestrated several victories for their respective countries and their hunger to score runs every time they step out to bat is what makes them elite.
Comparisons are a very common sight, not just in cricket, but in any sport. Kohli and Babar have been often compared by fans and former cricketers. The former has scored more than 25,000 runs in international cricketer while the latter has managed to amass over 11,000 international runs in his career so far.
When in full rhythm, both Kohli and Babar are a treat to watch. They have all the shots in their arsenal and at times, they make batting look like an easy task against the best bowling attacks.
When it comes to cover drive, both Kohli and Babar ooze class and elegance while playing one of the prettiest shots in cricket. But which batter plays it better?
Star South African batter David Miller thinks that the Pakistan captain is ahead of Kohli when it comes to cover drive.
When quizzed about which player has a better cover drive on ESPNCricinfo, Miller said, "Probably, I would go with Babar."
Miller was also asked to choose between Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Afridi in terms of the ability to bowl a perfect yorker. The veteran South African batter opted for the Indian pacer. "I would go with Bumrah's yorkers," Miller said.
