Fab Four in Test Cricket: Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson have been the biggest four batsmen of the last decade. These four batsmen of the new generation are known as Fab-4. All four had great class in batting and gradually all four made their own big mark in the cricket world. Some went ahead in white ball cricket and some earned a name in red ball cricket. At the same time, someone did a balanced performance in all the three formats.

In this list of Fab-4, where Virat Kohli went ahead of the other three players in ODI and T20 cricket, he left far behind two players in Tests. In Test cricket, Virat Kohli is far behind Joe Root and Steve Smith in scoring runs and centuries. Kane Williamson is also seen going ahead of him now.
