Wasim Akram on Best Cover Drive Player: Pakistan’s legendary fast bowler and ‘Sultan of Swing’ Wasim Akram recently praised Babar Azam’s batting skills. He said that Babar’s cover drive is the best not only in the current era but in the history of cricket. This statement is especially in discussion because Akram described Babar’s cover drive as better than that of great batsmen like Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar.
Wasim Akram said, the way Babar Azam plays cover drives is amazing. His technique, timing and perfection of shots make him different from others.”
Meanwhile, according to Geo News of Babar Azam, former captain Babar Azam will not open for Pakistan in the upcoming two home Test matches against West Indies. Babar, who recently returned to form, opened Pakistan’s innings in the absence of Sam Ayub. The young left-handed batsman twisted his ankle while chasing the ball with teammate Aamir Jamal. He lost his balance and injured his ankle. Due to this recent injury Ayub was not able to bat in both the innings.
