Virat Kohli is ranked last among the elite “Fab Four” batters of the modern era by famous Australian cricketer Alyssa Healy, who is leading the current debate on the subject. Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson are among the players in this group who have had a big impact on modern cricket.
Healy, an eight-time World Cup champion, talked about her rankings on the “LiSTNR Sport” podcast and said that her choice was not solely based on skill but also on analysis. Even though Healy recognized Kohli’s outstanding accomplishments and reliability, he placed him fourth among the Fab Four.
If I were to rank Kohli just by numbers, I’d put him fourth. But he’s the best in everything else, in my opinion,” Healy said. She pointed out that Kohli’s remarkable numbers are remarkable considering the amount of cricket he plays and the extreme strain he faces. Kohli is ranked fourth in her rating, which takes statistical analysis into account.
Joe Root came in third, Steve Smith came in second, and Kane Williamson was ranked first by Healy. She defended Williamson’s number one ranking by emphasizing his crucial position in New Zealand cricket and implying that his output frequently propels his team to victory on its own. “Kohli has frequently had support from teammates like Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja, but Williamson has carried the entire New Zealand team,” the spokesperson said.
Healy’s remarks offer a balanced view of the Fab Four, acknowledging the different effects these players have had on their different teams. While there is no denying that Kohli is still one of the most renowned batsmen in the world, Healy’s analysis highlights the different contributions and challenges that each member of this elite group faces.
