We all know how impeccable Virat Kohli’s cover drivers are. The cricket romanticists cherish the sound when the ball hits the sweetest spot of the bat and Virat Kohli with his delectable cover drives provide the same. Some of his cover drives are etched in the memories of the fans and they love the sight of it.
Someone just can’t drive a full-length Mohammad Amir delivery with such precision unless he is Virat Kohli. He is also immaculate in finding the gaps and he showed umpteen glimpses of that when he played a magnificent knock of 82 against Australia in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 to propel India to the semifinal.
Virat is simply a class apart and he showed some of his exemplary skills in an MRF Corporate Video recently. He displayed a mind-boggling trick of driving the cricket ball through the running tyres in a recent shoot for MRF. The shot has been named, ‘Rolling Cover Drive’.
Virat Kohli is someone who likes to play traditional cricket strokes and plays them with the utmost of precision. He can pierce the gap in the field like a virtuoso and his strokes are are delightful for the viewers. Even in the slam-bang version of the game, he sticks to the traditional shots and he is unbelievably successful in his approach.
He averages more than 50 in the T20I format and that’s incredible given the fact that Aaron Finch, the man next to him, averages around 39. This shows his mettle as a batsman and proves the fact that T20 cricket can be played with proper cricketing shots too.
It seems from the video that the gifted right-hander possesses unbelievable skills in his arsenal and he has only revealed a few of that. With such precision, one can’t argue that he is one of the best batsmen in the world right now.
