It is not going to be Fab 4 anymore, it will be Fab 5 and Rohit Sharma will be a part of it: Aakash Chopra
The quartet of Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson and Joe Root are widely recognized as the fab four of this generation due to their phenomenal batsmanship over the past decade in all formats of the game.
In a video on his official YouTube channel, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra opined that Rohit Sharma would soon join the aforementioned group of players on the back of his exceptional Test performances over the last two years.
In this regard, Chopra said:
"I feel you should change the Fab 4 to Fab 5, Rohit Sharma's name is going to be included if it is not already there because there is no competition for him in white-ball cricket and the way he is playing in red-ball cricket, he has tasted blood."
"He enjoys leaving or defending the ball and playing shots is in his DNA. So, bowlers beware, it is not going to be Fab 4 anymore, it will be Fab 5 and Rohit Sharma will be a part of it," added Aakash Chopra.
Rohit Sharma finished the England series as the top run-scorer for India. He scored 368 runs across four Tests at an average of 52.57, including two half-centuries and a century. Only Joe Root (564) scored more runs in the series.
