Former England cricket team fast bowler Darren Gough recently picked the four best batters in world cricket at the moment. Fans are always divided when talking about the Fab 4 group and which four batters fit in the modern version of that group. Most of the fans have opined that Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith form the Fab 4 group.
The reason behind it is that all four batters have done an excellent job for their respective national teams. However, in recent years, because of the emergence of Babar Azam, the cricket experts have felt that the group should be called Fab 5 now with Babar being the fifth member. Some of them have even opined that Babar could be added to the Fab 4 as a replacement.
In a recent interview with Cricket Pakistan, Darren Gough picked the four best batters according to him and said:
“When you talk about the best players in the world, you look at Kane Williamson, Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Babar Azam and those are the four batters you look at, are the best players in the world and they are all fighting for the number one slot.”

During the same interview, Darren Gough talked about the talent possessed by the Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam and said:
“Babar Azam is a fantastic talent, the way he builds his innings in all formats is superb, it didn’t work well for Karachi in PSL this year but he is the best.”
All four batters will be in action during the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 later this year in Australia. It will be interesting to see which of the four players ends up with the most number of runs at the mega event Down Under.
