Aakash Chopra Names Next‑Gen 'Fab Four': Gill, Jaiswal, Brook, Ravindra

Posting on X, the former India batter said the quartet’s all‑format potential fits a landscape where the original Fab Four are reshaping their careers.

Overview

  • Chopra identified Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Harry Brook and Rachin Ravindra as his opinion-based picks for a new Fab Four in an Oct. 11 video on X.
  • He forecast Gill and Jaiswal as future all‑format mainstays, backed Brook to excel across formats, and cited Ravindra’s technique and temperament.
  • The original Fab FourVirat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson—was a label coined by Martin Crowe in 2014 to mark their dominance.
  • Coverage notes shifting roles: Kohli has retired from Tests and T20Is, Smith from ODIs, Root has stepped away from T20Is, and Williamson currently plays all three formats.
  • Reports added recent career numbers for the four named players and pointed out that Brook is England’s vice‑captain, stressing this is a pundit selection rather than any official designation.
