neel roy Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Was just thinking this team doesnt have much difference with the 2000s team in the sense that we can extrapolate their strength into the current scenario 2000s Fab 4: All 4 40 plus average with 2 > 50 in Sachin and Dravid Sachin Dravid Laxman Ganguly Current Fab 4 : All 4 40 plus average with Kohli above 50 and Pujara near about. Kohli Pujara Rohit Rahane Opener in 2000 Sehwag ..Current : Gill Spinners 2000: Kumble Harbhajan Spinners Now: Ashwin Jadeja Wk Dhoni from 2005 Wk now : Pant Fast bowlers: Zaheer Khan Pathan Balaji Sreesanth Ishant RP Singh ( 2000s) Fast bowlers now way better in New Ishant, Shami, Bumrah, Umesh, Siraj, Bhuvi Though the mindboggling fact is we won same number of SENA tests in both decades 2000 to 2010 : ( 2 in Australia, 2 in England, 1 in Nz and 2 in South Africa) : Total 7 plus 2 In Pakistan. 2011 to Current: 7 ( 4 in Australia, 2 in England, 1 in South Africa) : Total 7, though we came close to winning 4 more in Wellington, Jo berg, Edgbaston and Sydney wash out. Clarke, Adamant and Rightarmfast 1 1 1
Sgattick10 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Rohit Rahane LOL GautiMaan, Adamant, Gollum and 3 others 6
chewy Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Not really, Dravid much superior to Pujara and same with Laxman over Rahane. And Rohit is a joke of a Test player. Will make merry in India. But success of Pant covers alot of the shortfalls
AuxiliA Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Yes but the Fab 4 of this generation are our bowlers. This team's success is built around them. Ashwin Jadeja Shami Bumrah Sgattick10, SrinjayDutta, themask and 4 others 7
express bowling Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Kohli Pujara Gill Pant have the potential to be the fab 4 Gollum, themask, kirkutfan and 1 other 4

Around 2011 these were supposed to be the new fab 4 but I think fell short. Bowling has more than made up though. Kohli < Sachin Pujara < Dravid Rahane < Laxman Rohit < Ganguly Actually they are all one step below Kohli = Dravid Pujara = Laxman Rahane = Ganguly Rohit has hardly played much No Sachin equivalent Ashwin > Kumble Jadeja > Bhajji Bumrah > Zak Ishant/Shami/Umesh etc > old Ishant/Irfan/Munaf/RP/Sreesanth Pant and Gill might tilt the scales though. chewy, ykvyas and kohli 1 2
deathmonger Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 If Rohit can average 35-40 overseas and Pant/Gill play to their potential (And the others play as they are now or better) next 3-4 years can be great. ykvyas 1
Gollum Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Nah, not even close if you include Rohit and Rahane. But if Gill and Pant continue their momentum it will be close to Fab 4. For me Dada was never part of fab 4, a Rahane class player. We have Magnificent Seven: Bumrah, Ishant, Shami, Siraj, Umesh, Jaddu, Ash.....3 of them out of action and yet we are comfortably placed for Eng series. Imagine 3 of Viru/Sachin/Dravid/VVS missing a home series in the 2000s ...goti in muh situation. Edited January 30, 2021 by Gollum AuxiliA and raki05 1 1
TNAmarkFromIndia Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 "Fab 4" lol. Have people already forgotten our last tours of England, South Africa and New Zealand? Pujara and Rahane aren't in the league of Dravid and Laxman.

raki05 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Pujara has below or around 30 in NZ, sa and eng. I think some 19 or 21 in NZ, 24 around insa. It's pakistaniesq avg. He is far far away from dravid. Only in aus he is ahead of dravid. Even in wi and eng Pujara has very bad avg around 31. . He is only successful in aus like sehwag. Edited January 30, 2021 by raki05

Lone Wolf Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) Pujara has average records in Eng SA & NZ & WI.. Rohit lmfao.. Rahane lolzzz At the moment our batting order requires every bit of the contribution it can muster to reach 350+. Gill & Pant have somehow added extra dimension to a poor batting lineup. Jaddu & Pant are performers in English conditions.. So we can rest easy if Gill also scores at the top hopefully. Edited January 30, 2021 by Lone Wolf raki05 1
Tattieboy Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Can someone tell me what the definition of this word Fab means ?

rtmohanlal Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 current group of 4 of senior most in Kohli, Pujara,Rahane & Rohit are atleast 4 levels below FAB4 of Sachin,Dravid,Sourav & Laxman. If we add Sehwag & another batsman from this era into the mix , the gap gets even wider. raki05 1
