"Not Taking Anything Away...": Ex-South Africa Star's Huge 'Fab Four' Take On Virat Kohli

Indian cricket team batter Virat Kohli, who announced his retirement from Test cricket recently, was often compared to Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson when it came to the 'modern greats' conversation. The four talented batters were dubbed cricket's 'Fab Four' and over the years, fans have engaged in a lot of debates over who is the best among the lot. While Virat finished his career as the fourth-highest run-scorer among the four, former South Africa star Daryll Cullinan picked him as the best among the 'Fab Four' because of the kind of responsibility he took in all forms of cricket.

Can Virat Kohli Break Sachin Tendulkar's '100 Centuries' Record? ODI Schedule Paints Grim Picture

If there was one player who was considered worthy of bettering Sachin Tendulkar's record of 100 international hundreds, it was Virat Kohli. When Tendulkar was asked in an award ceremony after hitting his 100th century on who could break his record, he took two names: Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Within a week, both Rohit and Virat retired from the Test format. Kohli, who quit the Test arena on Monday, is still 18 hundreds away from equalling the incredible milestone and now has just one format to play, maybe for a maximum of two years. In an age when the relevance of the 50-over format is a continuous debate, hitting 19 hundreds in ODIs is a humongous task. There is a possibility of Kohli featuring in the ODI World Cup to be held in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia in 2027.

Sachin Tendulkar Turns 52: A Look Through The Extraordinary Cricketing Journey Of 'Master Blaster'

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who made a name for himself as possibly the greatest batter in cricket's history with his unmatched consistency, longevity, hunger for runs and audacity to take on some of the world's very best teams and bowlers, turned 52 on Thursday. Tendulkar is a name known in households not only in India, but across all major cricketing nations in this world. It would not be wrong to say that the sport owes a lot to the 'Master Blaster' for the sheer popularity, competitiveness and money power it currently enjoys.

"Stumps Pe Kyu Nahi Aata?" Rohit Sharma Blasts Kuldeep Yadav For Missed Run Out Chance

Kuldeep Yadav had to bear the brunt of India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's anger for missing a possible run out chance during the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand in Dubai. The incident happened after the second ball of the 41st over of New Zealand's innings. Michael Bracewell tried to steal a quick single, pushing Kuldeep's delivery towards point. Bracewell was well short off his crease but Ravindra Jadeja, for once, failed to hit the stumps at non-striker's end.

Rohit Sharma Retirement Hint Out With Huge Ajit Agarkar Development, Report Clears Picture

After serving Indian cricket for long, not just with his tremendous batting skills but also as a leader of the pack, skipper Rohit Sharma is likely to take a call on his ODI future after the conclusion of Champions Trophy, irrespective of the outcome. 'Captain Rohit' is tipped to become the second skipper after Mahendra Singh Dhoni to win more than one ICC event as India will enter the title clash against New Zealand as overwhelming favourites. After the T20 World Cup final in Barbados, both Rohit and Virat Kohli announced immediate retirement from the shortest format and now as the D-day looms, there is speculation that this could well be the last match for Rohit in India blues.
