Alyssa Healy Ranks "The Fab Four" Batters: Kohli at the Bottom
The modern era of cricket has been graced by four exceptional batters who have dominated the sport: Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson. Known as "The Fab Four," these players have etched their names in cricket history with their remarkable performances. However, the debate over who stands as the greatest among them continues to ignite discussions.
Recently, legendary Australian women's cricket star Alyssa Healy weighed in on the topic, offering her analytical perspective. While acknowledging the greatness of all four batters, Healy placed Virat Kohli at the bottom of her ranking.
"If I'm purely basing it on numbers, I'm going to put Kohli as fourth," Healy explained. "But I actually rate him as No. 1 in everything else."
Healy's reasoning stems from the sheer volume of cricket Kohli plays and the immense pressure he faces. Despite his impressive statistics, Healy believes that Kohli's numbers are slightly diminished by the support he receives from his teammates.
In contrast, Healy placed Kane Williamson at the top of her list. She highlighted Williamson's ability to carry the entire New Zealand team on his shoulders, playing a pivotal role in their success.
"Williamson has carried the whole New Zealand team," Healy said. "If he doesn't make those runs, New Zealand don't get anywhere near winning."
Healy also ranked Joe Root third and Steve Smith second, citing their consistent performances and impact on their respective teams.
The debate over who is the greatest among "The Fab Four" is likely to continue for years to come. However, Healy's analytical approach provides a fresh perspective on the topic, highlighting the unique strengths and contributions of each player.
