Cover, alternatively the covers, is a region of the field with respect to the batsman in cricket.[1]

Thumb

The location of the cover region depends on a batsman’s handedness, but it is always a part of the field on the off side in front of the batsman, stretching from around slightly forward of square on the off side through an approximately twenty-degree sweep upward across the field. The diagram shows the location of the cover region for a right-handed batsman.

The cover drive is considered one of the most graceful shots playable in the sport.[2]
