When it comes to fab four batsmen, it reminds us of Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root and Kane Williamson. These four players have absolutely been consistent time and time again while playing for their respective teams.

They carved out a reputation for themselves and went on to become modern-day batting greats. While Virat Kohli has been delivering the goods across all formats of the game, Joe Root has been focusing on red-ball cricket at the moment.

On the other hand, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson have been playing across formats for the national cricket team. Steve Smith is dominating the charts in terms of most hundreds scored as far as the purest format of the game is concerned.
