Dinesh Karthik on Fab-4 Deate: Virat Kohli Plays All 3 Formats, Joe Root and Steve Smith Just Play 2

After Virat Kohli blasted an outstanding century against the West Indies in the second Test against the Windies, veteran wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik offered his opinion on the much-discussed fab-four argument. After Kohli’s average in Test matches fell below 50, the lists that also contain Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Kane Williamson, the discussion over whether he is still a member of the fab four began. The batting master put his detractors to rest in his 500th international game with a composed century.

Karthik emphasized that although Smith and Root don’t play T20 cricket too often, Kohli consistently plays all three forms.

The fact that Virat Kohli plays in all three formats will wear down his physique. While Steve Smith and Joe Root just participate in ODI and Test cricket far more often. Due to the fact that Australia and England sometimes play more Test matches than India, they have the highest potential of scoring many more hundreds. But knowing the guy and the kind of discipline he is displaying globally in different nations, he might very well wind up being the greatest Test hundred-run scorer in the world, if not one of the Fab Four, according to Karthik, who spoke to Cricbuzz.

The seasoned gloveman also discussed Kohli’s century on Friday, which assisted India in surpassing the 400-run milestone. Despite the fact that the previous two years have not been the finest for the batting master, Karthik stated that Kohli and Test cricket get along very well.

Unsurprisingly, Virat Kohli and his 29 hundreds are today’s top news. Virat Kohli and Test cricket have had a long-standing love affair. Over time, they have gotten along quite well. His greatest years weren’t in the final two years, he continued.

Karthik praised Kohli’s mental tenacity for his outstanding performance with the bat and said that the only way to defeat him on Friday was to run him out.

He said, “The one thing that he has showed a lot in this Test match and the prior one in West Indies is what goes between his ears. He has battled it out. He seemed to have no other option except to flee away, and finally that is exactly what happened. But the guy had class,” he continued.
