Ravichandran Ashwin has revealed the names of his Fab Five of current batters, giving place to only one Indian player. India ODI and Test captain Shubman Gill was included alongside England white-ball skipper Harry Brook, Australia opener Travis Head, West Indies leader Shai Hope and South Africa star Temba Bavuma.

Brook has the best batter across formats in international cricket. He has been scoring runs against all rivals. Shubman Gill is playing in Test matches and one-day internationals, and the right-handed batter has done well. Temba Bavuma is leading from the front in the longest format of the game.

On the other hand, Travis Head is among the few Australian players who have been making their performance count in all formats.

Shai Hope has been sensational in white-ball formats, and he recently scored four centuries in the recently concluded bilateral assignments against India.

Ashwin names his Fab Five of the current bowlers

Jasprit Bumrah, Kagiso Rabada, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Matt Henry are R Ashwin’s current Fab Five of the current bowlers.

Bumrah’s workload is being managed by the team management, and he will now be seen in action in the upcoming two-Test series against New Zealand. He has been magnificent for the national team and has been winning matches for a long time. He is unplayable, and there is hardly a batter who has dominated him for a long time. Kagiso Rabada is South Africa’s match-winner, and he is among a handful of bowlers who his impactful with the red and white balls.

Josh Hazlewood is a bowling machine, and no matter who is in front of him, he doesn’t change his style of bowling. He has dominated the batters and continues to make match-winning contributions for Australia.

Pat Cummins leads Australia in Test formats and the fifty-over matches. He continues to rule the batters and is renowned for winning big matches for the Aussies.

Matt Henry’s is not easy to deal with, considering his off-stump line and length. New Zealand rely heavily on Henry, and the pacer has not disappointed.
