Question on Babar Azam's cover drive in Pakistan's 9th-grade physics book goes viral on social media

Pakistan captain Babar Azam might not have had the best of campaigns in the recently-concluded Asia Cup 2022 but he remains among the finest batters in the world at present. Babar struggled to score runs consistently in the Asia Cup but Pakistan still managed to make it to the final where they lost against Sri Lanka to miss out on the title.

Babar, who is currently the no.1 ranked ODI batter in the world, is one of the most skilled batters at present and has a range of shots in his arsenal. A prolific run-getter across formats, Babar can play some exquisite strokes and is known for his brilliant cover drives.

He has often been compared with the likes of Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar over his ability to play stunning cover drives and now his famous shot has made its way into the physics book of ninth grade in Pakistan. Recently, a Pakistani journalist -Shiraz Hassan shared a screenshot of a question on Babar's cover drive in the physics book of 9th grade in the country.
