“Steve Smith has fallen away, Kane Williamson is also going 50-50 but this guy is still there” – Aakash Chopra feels Virat Kohli is back in Fab-4.

Cricket commentator and former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has heaped praise on Virat Kohli, emphasizing his resurgence as a key member of the revered ‘Fab-4’ in Test cricket. The cricketing world is abuzz with anticipation as India gears up to face England in a riveting five-match Test series on their home turf. Kohli, an integral part of India’s 16-member squad for the series, is poised to display his cricketing prowess, with the opening clash scheduled at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on January 25 promising an enthralling start.

The Fab-4, a quartet consisting of Virat Kohli, Australia’s Steve Smith, England’s Joe Root, and New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, holds a distinguished status in the realm of Test cricket. Aakash Chopra, in particular, underscored Kohli’s remarkable track record, showcasing an impressive tally of 8,848 runs in 113 Test matches. Kohli’s batting prowess is further highlighted by a stellar average of 49.15, featuring 30 half-centuries, 29 centuries, and seven double hundreds.

Aakash Chopra said “Yours truly also said that he is no longer part of the Fab 4. He is now, by the way. It was about the runs at that time, in that period of two years, but he is back again. Steve Smith has fallen away. Kane Williamson is also going 50-50 but this guy is still there. He was there then also and has returned now.”
