I would rate Root and Kane over Kohli in tests so far in their careers. Smith is very underrated but what he has been doing is just off the charts. Unlike Root Smith has scored runs everywhere he has played. Kohli still has lot of work to do in tests, he just does not inspire the same confidence of ODIs when batting in tests.

Yep, Smith is a freak in Tests. Also has the fire in belly to stand tall and play when his teammates were collapsing left, right and centre around him.

Root is a natural n can score runs under any circumstance, can rotate strike, has a uncomplicated game, very impressed with his batting here, he is ahead of Williamson who cannot score at Root or Virats tempo.

KW is underrated in ODIs - his stats are better, or similar, to Root there.
