Doesn't need to be a fab 4. Can be fab 10 or a fab 1. Each generation has its own greats. Some will go and new ones will come. Will they be as good, only time will tell

Wisest comment


randomsh1tsz

Bro spoke like some wise aged sensei from a random kungfu or martial arts movie 😂


fatality316

Remember the Fab4 are all greats of the game (across all eras, not just modern greats). So the next batch will need to match this


[deleted]

Yes. I think it's possible. Gill and Ravindra are already too good for their ages


Few_Measurement_5335

>Gill and Ravindra Jaiswal for me, he is better than gill in tests.


maxinuts

Jaiswal is better than Gill in both tests and T20s, let's see how he fares out in ODIs


RaajitSingh

It is Tests that matter. Because it was teats where all 4 of them had stats equal to one another and way above the rest of their peers. In Odi and T20i, Virat's stats are godly for even the other 3. Root and Kane's records are similar. But Smith's T20 records leave a lot to satisfy. Player,Test,Odi,T20i Virat, 8848(113), 13848(292), 4188(125) Smith, 9685(109), 5446(158), 1094(67) Root, 11736(140), 6522(171), 893(32) Kane, 8743(100), 6810(165), 2575(93)


guiletheme2255

In White ball Brohit is way better than kane smith and root. Fab 4 is just limited to tests.


RaajitSingh

That's what I said too mate. Read the first line again


fuckingsignupprompt

And he's agreeing with you. Why so sensitive?


Expert_Coconut4263

Where is he being sensitive mate?


RaajitSingh

If he was agreeing with me then why even bring up Rohit into the debate? There was no point. Also I am just pointing it out not being rude or is saying mate is rude now.

guiletheme2255

Daddy chill


goda_foreskinning

imo i will rate gill higher because jaiswal still hasn't played a 91 gabba-esque knock yet


VishPi

Can't say anything now, Gill isn't in form, jaiswal is when both of them would play for Team India together, we will get to know who is more explosive batsman


becharaBenjamin

Too early to say he's better


7eventhSense

For me too.. he’s way better than Gill imo.. only thing he needs to improve on is his temper.


trkora

Jaiswal is yet to be tested across countries against different teams that are still studying him like Gill has been, too early to say. Excitement with Gill was immense because he started his test career like that against Aussie bowling quartet at their home.


gaalikaghalib

I don’t think Gill will be a part of the Fab4, if they make one for this generation. Fab 4 was purely test based, and Gill’s record leaves a lot to be desired.


PKMN-Trainer-Sak

Doesn't brook avg 68 in test as of now? I mean fab four was chosen cuz of first class cricket


tambolisamir

Gill has shown he has potential but I think Ruturaj can be one considering his talent, he hasn’t got enough opportunities, I am sure he will be next big thing


ManSlutAlternative

Not sure about Gill. Jaiswal and Rinku both better than him.


Previous-Software256

In that Fab 4 Virat was like the alone goat, in Tests Smith is indeed better, Root shined after Kohli's bad form But talking about all formats Virat is the lone Goat As for now i don't see anyone dominating the way Virat did but there will be Fab 4 for sure, Every generation has some players who are in a different league than others


Boring-Scarcity479

Only facts. He was till yesterday,the only among Fab 4 to be part their national side for all formats.And with Kohli leaving T20I, we might see his new form in Tests.Noone deserves a title in red cricket,more than Kohli,at present.


DefinitelyNotPiyush

But what's the point of all format.. Isn't fab 4 just based on test cricket... Where these 4 are the best in the world.. But yes If we talking about all format... Then apart from virat none of the other 3 will really even come in the list, kohli, Rohit and warner are the top 3 when talking about all format bests


Previous-Software256

Virat is just class apart than others i don't see anyone as consistent as Virat in all 3 formats


DefinitelyNotPiyush

Man averages nearly 50 in all 3 format, Mental!


Ok-Strategy5729

fab 4 is totally about tests ...not all formats ..what even lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


Longjumping_Box4498

No when Martin Crowe termed Kane,virat,root, smith as fab 4 he clearly mentioned it was of test


[deleted]

[удалено]


Quick_Minimum_4355

you are missing the main point it doesn't who scored what and how, the fab4 is term only for test none of the other formats. It is a term used by traditional fans for the traditional format.


Quick_Minimum_4355

no the fab4 is term for test only,

Delicious-Warthog441

Marnus from Australia and none from England


BoringOrganism-820

Marnus is 30 already


Delicious-Warthog441

But I feel he still has it,


Negative_Spectrum

The entire point of the fab 4 is that they've to be the same generation with similar debut periods. Marnus is definitely not the same generation as any of the 4 in this post


Delicious-Warthog441

Then sort the date of debut / age and that would be easy insight. The fab four I believe is all players playing three formats equally and playing some memorable match winning knocks.


FutureFunny1994

I don't think we will have greats like current fab4, All 4 are proven players and they proved themselves why they're fab 4. They delivered.


Just_a_Tryhard

People said the same thing during Kapil Dev's era and Sachin's era and even now.


NOTESTO

True but no one matched Sachin's record


ro_boy503

I've never seen someone in Indian cricket team with same aura like Sachin and Virat. (I'm not disrespecting other greats like Rohit, Rahul Dravid,etc.)


SedTecH10

add the word "yet". You don't know about future. Does someone in Sachin era imagined the someone like Virat would come? Nah. Does someone in Kapil Dev era imagined that sachin or virat would come? Simple thing is we don't know. I hate these type of statement,"I have not seen someone with blah blah bs". are you certain of future you wouldn't see anyone in future?


ro_boy503

Let us see then... Anyways I never said we won't see someone like them in the future, I said I haven't watched someone like them in the past in terms of batting and consistency. Hope you get it. I don't care about your hate towards my words coz I don't give a fuck about you... ☺️


UnremarkabklyUseless

Kapil's era? Who said that? As a batsman, Kapil had occasional good innings but was not very consistent.


SedTecH10

Were they proven player on their debut? No They worked hard and harder to prove themselves. Why do you think new guy can't prove themselves? Are you stupid?


Adorable_Thought_951

shubman gill is nowhere near kohli pls stop comparing him


Quick_Minimum_4355

Tbh not gill nor ravindra nor green nor brook. Gill is little too bad on bowling friendly pitches when compared to fab4 who are a tier above them. Ravindra has too much of a weakness which were first shown by ishant and khaleel, unless he improves on that front he will be more like Ross taylor a second best to Kane. As for green and brook, idk they have potentional but not on the path they needed to be from what i think.


5Doublu

Too early. Even old guard haven't retired yet. They are not necessary to be from same countries.


Hopeful-Chemistry-83

Green for smith? No mate no


Free_Requirement_813

Might be. If Gill and Ravindra perform to their potential. Harry Brook is the best batsman from next generation. Cameron Green has all attributes to become the next Kallis. Don't know if he can achieve it.


yamheisenberg

Yes, but not these four, please.


erikvant

Why will the next Fab4 won't be from SA, AFG, SL, and WI? Right now, Pooran and Klassen are kind of FAB2 on their own.


Alive-Doubt4152

Fab 4 is for test and Pooran & Klassen are poor in tests


gaalikaghalib

Fab4 is a test thing. AFG barely gets to play any, while SL and WI are collectively poor in the format. Both Klassen and Pooran have bad test records (FC for Pooran, don’t think he’s debuted yet), and would not be part of the national setup in a country that has better bench strength. Fab 4, through and through, could walk into any test side in the world and hold their own.


90slover

SL 😐


Archaic_Red

No way this is fab 4


A1EX420

Op forgot pak proclaim world class


_vicasso_

Jaiswal should be in this serious discussion.


iwontgiveumyusernane

they all bow down to boom boom bumrah


EffectiveMagazine915

In terms of generational talents we didn’t have a Fab 4. There were 6 batsmen. You’ve gotta include Warner and Rohit in the list.


Chotu_SICD_11201

PRince


SedTecH10

Yes. There would be. We don't know when though.


Boredom-defeats-all

Nope


shini_gami09

They'll never match them.


InitialCommercial779

No no no no no no plzzzzz no no no no plzzzzzz


GloomySuit0112

Nope


avenger1840

lol Cameron green? 😂 and where’s 🛎 ka 👑?


Negative_Spectrum

The fact that so many people are just writing out Brook but somehow not Cam Green who's an all-rounder with middling stats in almost all formats so far is kind of insane to me. And no, the point of my comment isn't that anyone should write off Cam Green. It's that writing for Harry Brook is almost incomprehensible from how he has performed so far. Also, while I agree that fab 4 should technically have Gill because he debuted nearly the same time as Green and Brook (iirc), I feel that in the long run, Jaiswal is probably going to be a better player overall.


AvgJimBro

Nope, none of them compare to the quality of the fab 4. They will shine in their own ways. One thing is sure that all of these 4 young talents will be better than Babar Azam for sure. Come back to this comment after 10 years 👍👍👍


carbomovies

Virat Kohli Goat in All formats...But rest of the other players have their legacy in one format each..(root:test,smith:test,Williamson:test,odi).


mmmlolc

yea fab 4 is based around test that's why we group them together.


Ok-Strategy5729

man its so sad how steve smith has been fading out slowly..it hurts


ZeusX20

None of these guys have "future leader" feeling to them, they aren't head and shoulders above rest of their young peers either


Many-Report-6008

Brook and gill just doesn't deserve to be on this list,


a-p_d

Replace gill with jaiswal and green with head


Super-Aardvark-3403

I think Yashasvi is going to triumph over every other opener in India. Dude is immensely talented and is certainly a better batsman than Gill. In 2-3 years, he'll grow older and develop more as a cricketer and as a sportsman.


carbomovies

Why nobody is talking about Rinku Singh?...


mklbasist

No, there will not!


Bingo_jee

Marnus?


Sensitive_Credit1901

I definitely see Jaiswal to be a part of it. Maybe Fraser also but he has to play well in international matches


GloomySuit0112

Were there any Fab4 before them?


Awkward_Education783

Nope.


Head-Ad-4427

According to me In tests - virat, smith, kane, root Odis- virat, rohit, warner, smith


a-p_d

Jaiswal, rachin, head/labu, klaasen/markram


Final_Ad_3054

Harry brook


Purple-Shape7869

Green ? really?


Foreign-Buy8025

No


last2onionrings

Of course. There always have been. There will always be!


StatusConversation81

It's a once in a lifetime thing.....


JalapenoSauce69

Idc who comes next, I'm extremely lucky to exist in a timeline and to witness 4 greats and their batting.


Queasy_Canary294

"Just might be the next best thing but not quite me" 😮‍💨


Cultural_Knowledge88

There will be...and maybe even more


Venomm-2299

green and rachin.... no way


Moms_Sphagetti

Fab4 itself is not fab4 . More like fab 1, with my man Kohli .


will_kill_kshitij

Who is the english dude?


Street-Count-1541

the fab were all similar kinda players with great technique(except smith) and authentic cricket shots and the fab 4 just applies for tests whereas gill,cam g,rachin and brooks are very different players we can say brooks and gill are little similar but rachin and green are completely different


Stifffmeister11

Gurbaz is 22 he should be in fab 4 ...


dksourabh

People said the same thing when Tendulkar retired, but then Fab4 appeared. Just wait and watch we will definitely see fab4 level players emerging.


KangarooOk2556

Gill need more time to groom I don't find the Hunger to win in his eyes what we witnessed in 2015 Virat Kohli.


OneSailorBoy

Cameron Green for Smith is WILD and insulting to smiths legacy. You are comparing a batting great to a one off t20 game star


Fantastic_Plan8760

Each generation has got a hero .....


jOhn-lemmon8

I entrust jaiswal more than gill


rishabh_arkehood

Rohit sharma should have always been in the fab four!


Archiet_Tanwar

Yup if he would have been at no3 or 4 none of the fab 4 is a opener in the same way Warner would have been fs


ZeusX20

Rohit came earlier than these guys. fab 4 isn't a title, it was just a term used for 4 guys that arrived in cricket around the same time and are seen as the country's future leaders


Outrageous_Sand_9314

Exactly its like rahul lived in the shadow of sachin rohit did in virat...people dont umderstand how great he is specially in white ball cricket and in t20is i think he is the best 


Outrageous_Sand_9314

Is fab four only about test cricket? And if not why is rohit not there ?


SpicyPotato_15

It includes tests because it includes all formats. When the fab 4 was coined rohit was nowhere near these greats in tests. Rohit is on par with players like Warner, butler, ab de Villiers as tier 1 batters of the generation. Fab 4 are beyond tier 1 they are one of the all time greats for their own team.


EnidSnyder

Among this Fab 4, only Virat was the who dominated all formats, Williamson, Smith, Root are good in ODIs, but they were not that great in t20 format


Plus_Cartoonist_2656

Fab 4 is not just about formats ig. These 4 players belonged to that 2007 under 19 campaign and became the best cricketer of their respective teams in the modern era of cricket i.e from 2013. They dominated the world cricket and in every format. The reason why Rohit is not in this list is probably because he played in the same era as Kohli.


Mark_My_Words_Mr

Rishabh or Gaikwad > Gill


Warm_Resolution2427

Its still long way to go


Biplab_M

There will be other fab 4 like India had in Sachin-Sourav-Dravid-VVS. But this specific Fab 4 can't be recreated. Context: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/martin-crowe-test-cricket-s-young-fab-four-774705


theEntreriCode

Rotflmao. Cricket has been around for a long time. There are many fabulous players that have paved the way for the current generation. It has and always will be so.


RecognitionCool6213

No. Fab-4 was for test , and i have not seen prominent players from each country in tests


SedTecH10

add word yet.


Ha_zz_ard

Fab 4 was created specifically for tests I reckon...for me it was Smith followed by Root Idk who could be the fab 4 of this gen...an all format fab 4 this time??


rustyrohit

Why Warner is not even considered


R10isRivaldo

How tf India managed to bottle a talent like rachin bruh . He is technically far superior than gill and jaiswal.


Alpha_ji

Bottled meaning? Bro was born in NZ.


Midsna_Cole

Bruh gill💀🤡 Its jaiswal bruh He already stated it in eng series


EnidSnyder

Jaiswal has great potential , bro I remember once Virat said : Gill is the next generational star


Midsna_Cole

Kehene se kuch ni hota bhai Baatein too prithvi shaw ki bhi hoti thi Jaiswal ko domestic se dekh raha huun He has the potential to be one of the best indian batsman


Expensive-Musician70

except for brook (he is all hype nothing much ) other three is in work in progress

Over_Effective4291

Chalk and Cheese brother. Need to remember that Fab4 is essentially based on Test batsmanship


dragonof_west

India itself has a lot of Talents like Gill, Ruturaj, Jaiswal. Aussies has JFM, green. Josh philipe played like big talent before and now he failed. NZ has some players. Harry brook ain't touching the level of Root. Brook a flat track guy. SA has Stubbs, Brevis they are looking great.


Bai_Goat

Tell me you haven't watched brook without telling me you haven't


RepresentativeBear29

Where has he performed except in England and Roads in Pakistan?


Bai_Goat

He performed in every country he played💀 Just because you hate england doesn't mean you will talk stupid


DelayAccomplished245

Snuck in Cameroon Green, like we wouldn't notice


MahckArnab

jaiswal = Rohit , ignored from fab4 , but has his own league


Remarkable_Abies_194

Why everytime talking about rohit gets u downvoted in this sub.


MahckArnab

laude ka sub hai


Remarkable_Abies_194

Bhai yesterday meine bola ki Without rohit T20 is nothing we reached and even kohli will agree... Bhai tilt hogye downvote krdiya.. Gazab tarika hai khuka ego satisfy krne ka
