Back in 2021, during his conversation with Pakistan teammate Imam-ul Haq, in a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) video, Babar had revealed that he was inspired playing cover drive, his favourite shot, from South Africa legend AB de Villiers.
“I have worked really hard at this from the start. I was interested in it right from the start. I started being interested in it by watching AB de Villiers and I really liked his cover drive. At that time I used to copy the way he played those cover drives,” Babar said.
