Excellent. Someone thought of making the textbook concepts relevant to everyday situations. It's easy to comprehend when you can relate to them. In the end, concepts are about life! https://t.co/vGPDQsJzFS

According to ESPN Cricinfo, “cover drive in cricket is the act of stroking the ball through the covers with well-timed wristwork and conventional movement of the front foot toward the pitch of a delivery aimed at or outside the off stump.”
The cricketer did not have a good season at the recently concluded Asia Cup 2022; he failed to play big innings throughout the tournament. Fans are hopeful that Babar Azam will bounce back stronger in the upcoming series against England and New Zealand and the T20 World Cup in Australia next month.
It has been two months since Babar Azam scored a century. Sports commentators say Babar has set a high standard for himself; his underperformance sometimes upset his fans.
