Saba Karim Hails Joe Root, Names Him At The Top Amongst 'Fab 4'
Days after former Australian captain Mark Taylor hailed Joe Root, saying the charismatic cricketer could surpass Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar's record for most runs in Test history, closer home, former India selector Saba Karim has said that the former England skipper stands head and shoulders above in the 'Fab Four' list of modern-day cricketers that also includes Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, and Kane Williamson.
Root, who handed over England's Test captaincy reins to all-rounder Ben Stokes to concentrate on his batting, scored a fine unbeaten century to guide the home team to a five-wicket win against the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand at Lord's to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
