Fav four in Test cricket: Kohli vs Root vs Williamson vs Smith stats in Tests

Cricket, a sport loved by millions around the world, has witnessed the rise of several legendary players. In the modern era, four exceptional batsmen have stood out with their consistent brilliance, earning them the title of the “Fab Four players.” Their performances are often compared under the widely discussed Fab four Stats.

These iconic cricketers – Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Steve Smith have set new benchmarks for batting excellence across formats. 

Virat Kohli recently announced his retirement from Test cricket earlier today (May 12) with a post on his official Instagram handle. He ended his 14-year illustrious career in the format.

In this article, we will take a closer look at their remarkable careers, comparing their updated statistics and achievements to understand what makes them the finest batsmen of the modern era in Test cricket.

So, let's take a look at the statistics of the Fav Four in Test cricket.

Fav four in Test cricket | Kohli vs Root vs Williamson vs Smith

Test cricket, often considered the ultimate test of a player’s skill and temperament, has seen these four players shine brightly. Here’s how they stack up in the longest format.

Virat Kohli's peak in Test cricket arrived well before the likes of Joe Root and Kane Williamson. Steve Smith matched him toe to toe during that period, but the 12-month ban due to the sandpaper gate overshadowed his brilliance in the format. 

However, when we compare the numbers of Fab four in 2025, Kohli has fallen way behind his contemporaries. Root is at the peak of his powers in Test cricket in the last five years while Williamson has never really been out of form in the whites.

Smith has been on and off over the last couple of years, but his form has never been a concern for Australia in Tests. When it comes to runs, averages and centuries, Kohli ranks last among Fab four and a lot of it has to do with his downfall in the format since November 2019.

Steve Smith 116 206 10271 239 56.74 53.56 36 41

Fav four in Test cricket | How Kohli finished in Tests compared to Fab four

It is certain that Virat Kohli, who was once untouchable in the debate of Fab Four, will remain at the bottom forever when compared to his contemporaries. Only if his form hadn't dropped after November 2019, the 36-year-old, today, has stepped down from the format with some unreal numbers.

For the ENG vs IND match at Old Trafford, Indian team management could make multiple changes to the playing XI. Let's have a look.

ENG vs IND: What are the changes in Indian team you would like to see in fourth test?

Despite a great fight on the last day at Lord's, India suffered a heartbreak defeat by 22 runs in the third Test against England. Along with this, the discussion has intensified about the batting order of the team, especially the batting at number 3.

After the defeat at Lord's, the Indian men’s cricket team would like to come up with a big show in the fourth Test to level the series. The fourth red-ball match of the ongoing ENG vs IND five-match series will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23 to 27. For the match at Old Trafford, Indian team management could make multiple changes to the playing XI.

Sudharsan may replace Karun Nair

ENG vs IND: What are the changes in Indian team you would like to see in fourth test?

Karun Nair looked solid whenever he was on the pitch in the 6 innings so far. But he could never take his innings beyond 50. Nair scored 0, 20, 31, 26, 40 and 14 runs in the 6 innings so far. During this time, he got out unlucky many times. But it is possible that the team management may now plan to try talented and young cricketer Sai Sudharsan in his place.

23-year-old Sai Sudharsan from Chennai got a chance to debut in the ENG vs IND Leeds Test. But the first opportunity slipped from his hands like sand from his fist. He played innings of 0 and 30 runs in Leeds. The team lost the Test and he was also dropped from the playing XI.

Kuldeep can make a return

ENG vs IND: What are the changes in Indian team you would like to see in fourth test?

Discussions have once again intensified about the inclusion of 30-year-old left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who has taken 56 wickets in 13 Tests, in the playing XI. This tour could prove to be a good opportunity to include Kuldeep in the team.

Bumrah and Rishabh Pant out

ENG vs IND: What are the changes in Indian team you would like to see in fourth test?

Before the start of the series, chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Shubman Gill, and even Bumrah himself confirmed that he will play only three matches in England, and since the pacer has already featured in two matches out of three played so far, there is a high possibility that he will miss the game in Manchester to return for the final fixture at The Oval in London from July 31 to August 4.

In addition to Bumrah, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant could also miss the match in Manchester. Pant suffered a finger injury during the first day’s play of the Lord’s Test, and as a result, he didn’t keep after 34 overs in the first innings. There is still no clarity over Pant’s injury. If he misses out, then Dhruv Jurel will replace him in the playing XI.

The 24-year-old stumper from Agra impressed with his glovework during the third Test, and he has amassed a total of 202 runs in six innings of four Tests played so far. Jurel’s best score in Test cricket is 90, which he registered against the English team in Ranchi last year.

Akash Deep likely retain Bumrah's place

ENG vs IND: What are the changes in Indian team you would like to see in fourth test?

Akash Deep could only manage to take one wicket in the third Test, but if Bumrah misses out due to workload management, then he is likely to retain his place.

Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav are the other four bowlers in India’s Test squad for the England series, and for the game at Old Trafford, Arshdeep could come in for Bumrah. Arshdeep is a left-arm pacer, and his inclusion will bring variety to India’s bowling attack.

West Indies just registered their lowest test score in their history after registering only 27 in the fourth innings of the third West Indies vs Australia test in Kingston. While chasing only 204 in the last inning of the test match, West Indies were bundled out for 27 after Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland ran through them. 

For the West Indies, only Justin Greaves could reach the double-figure (11) mark. 7 of 11 batters of the West Indies team were dismissed for ducks.

Australia started the inning on a fiery note, with Mitchell Starc taking three wickets in the first over. He then went on to break the record for the fastest five-wicket haul in a test inning as he reached the landmark in just 15 balls. West Indies once were 6 for 11, but a small partnership from Alzarri Joseph and Justin Greaves helped them reach 26.

But from 26/6, Scott Boland took a hat-trick to reduce them to 26/9. Mitchell Starc then wrapped up the inning with his sixth wicket as he finished with a bowling figure of 7.3-4-9-6. 

What is the lowest test score in history?

New Zealand in 1955 registered the lowest test score in history when they were bundled for only 26 in the third inning against Australia in Auckland. Bert Sutcliffe could only reach the double-figure mark (11) for the Kiwis. 

Frank Tyson started the attack for Australia, taking the first two wickets. But it was Brian Statham and Bob Appleyard who finished the job for the team from down under. Statham returned with 9-3-9-3 while Appleyard had the bowling figure of 6-3-7-4.

Along with New Zealand in 1995 and the West Indies in 2025, South Africa features in the top five of the lowest test scores in test cricket. 

In 1896, South Africa were bundled for 30 against England in Gqeberha, which was the lowest test score for nearly 59 years.

South Africa again matched their record when England bowled them out for 30 again, this time in Birmingham in 1924. In 1899 and 1932, South Africa registered 35 and 36, respectively, against England and Australia.

Then comes India's 36 all-out against Australia in 2020 in Adelaide. India comes on the list again with their 42 against England in 1974 at Lord's. 

However, before all of these, Australia had the record for the lowest test score, before New Zealand broke the record. In 1888, Australia were bundled out for 42 against England at their own turf in Sydney.

Mohammed Siraj faces ban risk over his aggressive send-off and shoulder barge to Ben Duckett

Will Mohammed Siraj face ban risk over his aggressive send-off and shoulder barge to Ben Duckett on Day 4 of the Lord's test? Find out how his fiery celebration in the IND vs ENG match can lead to an ICC penalty.

Mohammed Siraj faces ban risk over his aggressive send-off and shoulder barge to Ben Duckett | sportzpoint.com

The third test between England and India at Lord's has been a gripping contest. After an intense Day 3, where tensions noticeably escalated between the two teams, Day 4 saw even heightened clashes.

In just the fifth over of the day, India's Mohammed Siraj struck up a sharp back-of-a-length delivery at 140 kph. Batting at 12, the English opener Ben Duckett mistimed the ball while attempting to pull from outside the off stump, which resulted in a straightforward catch for Bumrah.

What followed was an aggressive, in-your-face celebration from Siraj, involving a direct charge towards the batsman and a prolonged, intense stare. Things got even worse as the celebration involved a visible shoulder barge with Duckett.

This unexpected and fiery encounter raised concerns about a serious issue: Will Mohammed Siraj face a ban risk over his aggressive send-off and shoulder barge to Ben Duckett on Day 4 of the Lord's test? Find out what the ICC code of conduct suggests:

Is Mohammed Siraj at a bank risk over his aggressive send-off to Ben Duckett?

Mohammed Siraj faces ban risk over his aggressive send-off and shoulder barge to Ben Duckett | sportzpoint.com

Mohammed Siraj provided an early breakthrough to his nation by dismissing England's explosive opener, Ben Duckett. High-stakes matches in cricket often saw intense celebration from both sides. However, Siraj's celebration involving a shoulder barge has put him under a ban and in potential trouble.

Siraj could be found to have breached Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct, which states: "Using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match."

The article "includes any language, action or gesture used by a Player and directed towards a batter upon his/her dismissal which has the potential to provoke an aggressive reaction from the dismissed batter, whether or not any reaction results, or which could be considered to disparage or demean the dismissed batter, regardless of whether the batter him/herself feels disparaged or demeaned (in other words, a ‘send-off’)"

Lines that Siraj seemed to cross with his celebration:

  • "excessive celebration directed at and in close proximity to the dismissed batter": The celebration after Duckett's dismissal involved Siraj coming within close proximity of him, while keeping his glares.
  • "verbally abusing the dismissed batter": Even though any usage of verbal abuse can't be concluded in the footage, as Siraj is probably seen yelling "come on" – this point will be a crucial one to look at and re-check.
  • "pointing or gesturing towards the pavilion": There is no evidence of this third point being involved.

Besides the mentioned article, there's also article 2.12, which states: "Without limitation, Players will breach this regulation if they deliberately, recklessly and/or negligently walk or run into or shoulder another Player or Umpire. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the following factors (without limitation) shall be taken into account: (i) the context of the particular situation, including, without limitation, whether the contact was deliberate (i.e. intentional), reckless, negligent, and/or avoidable; (ii) the force of the contact; (iii) any resulting injury to the person with whom contact was made; and (iv) the person with whom contact was made."

“The game is better with the likes of Mohammed Siraj: it is an emotional game... It was actually Duckett who went towards Mohammed Siraj,” said on air after Siraj's aggressive send-off and shoulder barge.

Regardless of the speculations, the match referee, Richie Richardson, has to give a close look into this matter, to confirm whether Mohammed Siraj's barge to Ben Duckett was done "deliberately, recklessly and/or negligently."

Consequences of the breach:

If found guilty of breaching what's mentioned in 2.5, Siraj will be charged with a Level 1 offence – in other words, a warning, up to two demerit points, and up to 50% of match fees.

Additionally, if the shoulder barge is proved to be deliberate, he could also be charged with a Level 2 offence, the highest sanction for which can include two suspension points, enough for him to miss a Test match.
