Bollywood actress Wamiqa Gabbi chooses between Virat Kohli’s cover drive and Rohit Sharma’s pull shot [Watch]

Bollywood actress Wamiqa Gabbi was recently asked to choose between Rohit Sharma’s pull shot and Virat Kohli’s cover drive. The question came during a segment on a Star Sports show amid IPL 2025, where she promoted her upcoming film ‘Bhool Chuk Maaf’ with co-star Rajkumar Rao.

Wamiqa picked Sharma’s trademark pull shot over Kohli’s iconic cover drive during the segment. Answering the question, she said:

“Rohit Sharma pull shot. That’s it, period.”

Here’s a clip of the segment:

It is worth mentioning that Rohit Sharma struggled to get going in Mumbai Indians’ (MI) initial matches of the ongoing IPL 2025. However, he redeemed himself with back-to-back half-centuries against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH).

The veteran opener has amassed 240 runs across nine outings at a strike rate of 156.86. He will be seen in action on Thursday, May 1, as MI take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
