Virat Kohli plays only ODIs, Steve Smith has retired from ODI cricket, Joe Root remains active mainly in Tests and ODIs, while Kane Williamson has retired from international cricket. The changing format landscape has also made it harder for batters to dominate across all three formats.
“The first one in my mind is Shubman Gill. Second is Harry Brook, then Rachin Ravindra from New Zealand and Nissanka from Sri Lanka. These four players are playing consistently and doing really well across formats,” Ajinkya Rahane said.

Dinesh Karthik agreed with Ajinkya Rahane on Shubman Gill, Harry Brook, and Rachin Ravindra but made a different choice for the other two spots. He included Travis Head in his Fab Four, while also highlighting the potential of Yashasvi Jaiswal.
“Rachin Ravindra has also been very good, but not to the extent that Harry Brook has been across formats. So, if I had to pick a Fab Four today, I would go with these four players,” he added.
