Let’s pin down four immensely talented players who will form the next Fab 4 in Test cricket.
Several quality players have come on the international stage who have been absolutely fabulous at the start of their careers. There’s obvious talent, and to their credit, they have translated them into performances immediately at the highest level.
The skillsets they have shown are remarkable, something that has made fans believe they might be the next big thing in future. There’s a current Fab 4, but a few young players have shown they could be the next in line to be part of that elite club.
Let’s pin down four immensely talented players who will form the next Fab 4 in Test cricket.
The best way to judge non-Asian players is by checking their game vs spin, and Harry Brook is among the finest players of spin in world cricket. It is one of the reasons why he has tasted ample success in Pakistan so far.
Overall, he has 1875 runs at an average of 62.50, with the help of nine fifties and six centuries, in 31 Test innings. Brook has been unstoppable in red-ball cricket, and given the kind of skillsets he possesses, he will definitely add more to his run tally and will surely compete the best in the world.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is among the most exciting young players in world cricket and started his Test career with a bang. He has already scored 1217 runs at an average of 64.05, including seven fifties and three centuries, in 20 Test innings.
He has a terrific game against both pace and spin and can play according to the situation. Given how solid his technique is, Jaiswal is surely one for the future, and he is destined to achieve bigger things in the coming times.
Kamindu Mendis has had a dream start to his Test career, something he himself wouldn’t have thought. In just 13 innings, Mendis has notched up 1004 runs at a magnificent average of 91.27, including four fifties and five centuries.
It’s not just a purple patch for Mendis, for he has already played enough away from home and has shown real skillsets by handling every bowler brilliantly. Maybe it’s just the start of something special, and Kamindu will be part of the elite Test batters very soon.
Talent is a word that comes automatically with Rachin Ravindra, for he is too skilled not to succeed in the toughest format. Recently, he also worked on his spin game, which should help him succeed in the Asian conditions, for he already has a strong pace game, as visible in the World Cup last year.
He has 672 runs at an average of 39.53, including three fifties and a century, in 18 Test innings. He might not have started as brightly as the other three in this list, but Rachin definitely has the skillsets to catch up with them soon and stamp his authority.
