Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra claimed that batting maestro Virat Kohli had stormed his way back into the famed ‘Fab 4’ in an epic fashion. Chopra’s remarks came ahead of the IND vs ENG 1st Test set to start on January 25 in Hyderabad. The Fab 4 comprises of India’s Virat Kohli, New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, Australia’s Steve Smith and England’s Joe Root.
King Kohli back in Fab4
Speaking on a video in his YouTube channel, the ex-India star remarked that Kohli wasn’t a part of the Fab 4 for the last couple of years owing to a lean period where he was devoid of runs. Chopra claimed that while Steve Smith has fallen away while an injured Kane Williamson isn’t at his very best, Kohli is still there.
“Yours truly also said that he is no longer part of the Fab 4. He is now, by the way. It was about the runs at that time, in that period of two years, but he is back again. Steve Smith has fallen away. Kane Williamson is also going 50-50 but this guy is still there. He was there then also and has returned now,” said Chopra.
Chopra further applauded the manner in which Virat made a comeback.
“The way he has made a comeback has made his story even more beautiful. It seemed like things were done and dusted and you came and played a World Cup, and became the Player of the Tournament. You reinvented the wheel once again and reignited that passion,” Chopra added.
