Virat Kohli and the cover drive
Subscribe
Virat Kohli plays a lot of cover drives. He's not doing it through ego or because he hates you being happy. He plays this shot because he's good at it and because it helps him.
By good at it, I mean it's his second-most productive shot. Daylight is third.
And despite playing 345 attempted cover drives in the last five years, he's managed only to be dismissed from it eight times while averaging over 60 and scoring at nearly 1.5 runs per ball.
His off drive and square drive numbers are also good. This is a productive shot for him.
And today, he played it again. Many wanted him to stop, but this is one of his shots against pace, and it has tactical advantages for him.
