Future Cricket Stars: The Next Fab Four Revealed by Former England Captain

Former England Players , named Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, think that Yashasvi Jaiswal from India is very good at cricket. They both picked him and Harry Brook from England to be part of the new 'Fab Four.' The 'Fab Four' is a name that was first used by someone named Martin Crowe in 2013. Mister Crowe used it to note the four amazing cricket players: Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Joe Root, and Kane Williamson.

They were the best in all kinds of cricket games. But now, cricket is changing, and Hussain and Atherton chose different players they believe will be the new stars. Hussain and Atherton made sure it was safe by each putting a helmet on each head when they chose Jaiswal to be in charge of the game later. Hussain thinks Saim Ayub from Pakistan might be a very good hitter at the beginning of the game. He picked him because he believes Saim can play well in any kind of cricket match, whether it's a quick match or a long match. Even though Saim was injured and people weren't sure if he could play in the important trophy game, Hussain is still sure he can do well.

Nasser Hussain's Fab Four:

Michael Atherton's Fab Four:

     1.Yashasvi Jaiswal (India)

     2.Harry Brook (England)

     3.Kamindu Mendis (Sri Lanka)

     4.Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)

Atherton, on the other hand, leaned towards consistency and versatility, selecting Sri Lanka's Kamindu Mendis and New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra, in particular, stood out after leading New Zealand to an improbable Test series win in India in late 2024 and amassing 1,079 runs in the calendar year. The six players identified by Hussain and Atherton delivered exceptional performances in 2024, finishing among the top run scorers across formats.The selections by Hussain and Atherton offer an exciting glimpse into cricket's future, highlighting the next generation of global stars. Whether it be Jaiswal's consistency, Brook's explosive batting, or the emerging talents of Ayub, Mendis, Head, and Ravindra, the future of cricket looks promising with these young players at the forefront.

The Indian Cricket Team is all set to give their all in the 2025 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, where they will be up against the eight powerhouse teams for an enticing tournament. The selection committee has finalised the 15-member roster, and the coaching staff and captain are responsible for picking the playing XI. India, led by Virat Kohli, competed in the previous tournament's final, which Pakistan won by a landslide. 

However, eight years later, the leadership mantle and responsibility has been given to Rohit Sharma, with India looking to win the prized trophy for the first time since 2013. From experienced veterans like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to developing talents like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, the squad has tremendous talent that can make a significant impact. That said, here we create the strongest probable Playing XI of the Indian Cricket Team for the forthcoming tournament.

India's Strongest Probable Playing XI:

• Rohit Sharma (Captain)
• Shubman Gill (Vice-Captain)
• Virat Kohli
• Shreyas Iyer
• KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper)
• Hardik Pandya
• Ravindra Jadeja/ Axar Patel
• Kuldeep Yadav
• Arshdeep Singh
• Mohammed Shami
• Jasprit Bumrah

(Reserve: Harshit Rana)

In the top order, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have performed admirably as an opening duo in ODI cricket. They also have much experience playing together. Rohit and Shubman were India's openers in the previous ODI World Cup. However, there is no doubt about their ability, and Indian supporters will be hoping that the captain-vice captain combo can get back into the running in the flagship event. The two talismanic batters have formed a lethal opening partnership in the last few years. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is yet to make an ODI kickstart, would be the viable backup if the initial top-order falters. 

India's middle order is one of the best positives that can be yielded from the released lineup. It possesses the correct and optimum mix of calibre and exceptional intent to change the course of the game. Virat Kohli was the leading run-scorer in the ODI World Cup 2023. His credentials in 50-over cricket are outstanding, which makes it a no-brainer that he gets the No.3 spot. If Kohli is in top form, India will benefit greatly, thanks to his impeccable experience. Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer is returning to the ODI format and has performed admirably in the 2023 World Cup. This will be his first appearance in the Champions Trophy. Shreyas' performance at No. 4 will be crucial. KL Rahul will likely wear the wicketkeeping gloves and be the ideal batter to contribute critical runs. The Karnataka-based player has a terrific record in ODIs at No. 5, making him a perfect choice for giving a robust stability to the batting core.

Hardik Pandya, India's most premium white-ball allrounder, should start at No.6 and give much-needed balance to the team with his power-hitting and reliable medium-pace. Ravindra Jadeja will be the spin-bowling all-rounder, slotted at No.7, known for producing memorable moments for the Indian Cricket Team. Another option that can be taken for No.7 is Axar Patel. Patel's rise in the International space of the game has been noteworthy. The left-arm off-spinner has played a crucial role in the team's triumphant 2024 T20 World Cup, and it's not a surprise that he could do the same in the coming games. As it implies, about the conditions, the team can choose one of the all-rounders for a complete arsenal. After recovering from a groin injury, Kuldeep Yadav has resumed bowling at the nets. He will play a key role in the middle overs when he can grab significant wickets and shift the momentum in India's favour.

Mohammed Shami will make his much-anticipated return to international cricket. His recent domestic circuit performance has shown promise, and it will be interesting to watch how his pace and wicket-taking talents will flip the game in his team's favour. Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah has been the star bowler for India across all forms. India lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy recently, but Bumrah was crowned Player of the Tournament for outstanding performances. If Bumrah stays back due to his injuries, Harshit Rana will replace the lethal pacer. He will lead the bowling assault once more. Arshdeep Singh has been a regular for India in the Twenty20 format, but he has yet to establish himself in the One-Day Internationals, and this should be the right platform for it. The left-arm seamer will provide a fresh dimension to the team.

Overall, this squad combines seasoned veterans and developing talent to provide a balanced and competitive advantage in the competition. However, player fitness and form will determine the final selection as the competition advances.

Rishabh Pant or Yashasvi Jaiswal Likely to Be Named Test Vice-Captain

Everyone's discussing who will be the new vice captain for the Indian cricket team in Test matches. It's between Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal. But, according to Kushan Sarkar from PTI, it seems Pant is likely to get the job.

Jasprit Bumrah: The Former Vice-Captain

Jasprit Bumrah used to be the vice-captain, but he has been having health problems that kept him from playing many games in Test cricket. The team might want someone who can play more and has been around longer for the vice-captain spot since they think Bumrah's proficient at leading, but he is not there often. This is happening as India gets ready for their next Test matches.

Pant: A Strong Contender and Jaiswal: A Rising Star

Rishabh Pant is vitally important to India's Test team because of his amazing batting skills and sharp and informed tactics. Mr. Pant's shown he can handle pressure by playing very well in Australia and England. Also, his time leading the Delhi Capitals in the IPL shows he's excellent leadership skills.

Yashasvi Jaiswal, on the other hand, represents the new wave of Indian cricket. Having showcased his talent with a phenomenal debut Test series in the West Indies and consistent domestic performances, Jaiswal’s temperament and maturity have caught the selectors' attention. While relatively new to the international scene, his rapid rise makes him a viable candidate for the vice-captaincy, signaling a long-term investment in leadership.

What the Team Needs

Selectors must choose between picking someone who's already shown they can be in charge or choosing a player who can become very good as they grow. While Pant brings a fierce attitude that is like how India plays test matches, Jaiswal could offer something new with his calm demeanor.

The next Test series will be crucial for determining the deputy. India’s leadership team, led by Rohit Sharma, will aim for a balance of stability and vision as they finalize their vice-captain. Regardless of the decision, both Pant and Jaiswal embody the resilience and promise of Indian cricket’s future.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is being celebrated as a future star of the cricketing world, not just for Indian cricket. Despite having a short career so far, he has shown tremendous class and temperament. In just 19 Test matches, Jaiswal has an impressive average of 52, with 4 centuries and 10 half-centuries.

Playing in the toughest format, Test cricket, Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his potential during the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT). He finished as India’s highest run-scorer in the series with 391 runs and was second overall, just behind Australia’s Travis Head.

What made his performances even more remarkable was his consistency on foreign soil. In the same series, several senior Indian players, including Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, struggled to make an impact.

This was Jaiswal’s first Test series in Australia, yet he looked confident and composed. At just 23 years old, he has impressed not only his teammates but also the opposition. Although India lost the series 3-1, Jaiswal’s performances were a big positive for the team.

After the series, Jaiswal shared an Instagram post, reflecting on the learnings from the tour and promising to come back stronger. He thanked everyone for their support, showing humility and determination in his message.

A post shared by Yashasvi Jaiswal (@yashasvijaisw

Khawaja and Vaughan Praise Yashasvi Jaiswal for His Impressive Performance Against Australia

Australian opener Usman Khawaja commented on Jaiswal's Instagram post, saying, “Love your work, brother,” showing his appreciation for Jaiswal’s performances as an opponent.

Even former English cricketers and commentators, including Michael Vaughan, who was part of the commentary panel on Fox Cricket during the series, praised Jaiswal. Vaughan described him as "a joy to watch," highlighting his impressive skills and temperament on the field.

Such compliments from international players and experts show how much Jaiswal has made an impact early in his career, earning respect from across the cricketing world.

The Champions Trophy 2025 will start on February 19 in Pakistan, with some matches also being held in Dubai. Before this big event, India will play a three-match ODI series against England from February 6 to February 12. This series is important for India to test their team and decide the best combination. The team selectors are looking at players who are in good form and can perform well in key matches.

Reports say the team for the Champions Trophy will be mostly similar to the one from the World Cup 2023. But the selectors are also considering new players who have done well recently. One such player is Yashasvi Jaiswal. He has performed well in T20 and Test matches for India. Even though he has not played an ODI yet, his performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 was excellent. He scored 391 runs, the most by any Indian player in the series.

In the T20 World Cup 2024, Jaiswal was picked as a backup opener over Shubman Gill. However, he didn’t get a chance to play because Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli opened the batting. Shubman Gill’s recent form has been disappointing, which might give Jaiswal an opportunity.

Consideration for the England Series and Champions Trophy

With Rohit Sharma leading the team, the management is thinking about using Jaiswal as a left-handed opener. Pairing him with Rohit, who is a right-hander, could make the batting stronger and more balanced.

The England series will be a chance for the selectors and team management to see which players are ready for the Champions Trophy. Jaiswal’s recent performances and talent have made him a strong option for India’s ODI team. Whether he gets selected or not will depend on how the team plans to prepare for the big tournament.

In January 2025, at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) during the fifth Test match between India and Australia, there was an absurd moment that made everyone very happy. Rishabh Pant was batting in the 46th against Beau Webster, who was playing his first match, when he hit a very big hit that went over the boundary. The ball went flying deep into the stands, and it was both incredible and silly because the ground staff actually had to get a ladder to go obtain the ball back.

Pant's hit was not only extremely strong but also really accurate.

The shot from Pant was so powerful and perfectly done, it clearly demonstrated how he's noticeably about attacking when he bats. All the people on social media were discussing it, saying how brave Pant is and how amazing he played. A few people even thought it was the best moment of the year.

Pant proved he's utterly tough and difficult, despite taking hits from Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland, he didn't quit. He faced some hard times during the season but what really shined was his determination and batting skills.

Pant repeated the action! A major hit he just smacked down has definitely stretched his record of exceptionally wonderful performances, really showing us he's not only any player in cricket he's seriously brave and very exciting to watch. By just performing his role on the field, he manages to pull all eyes towards him every time he plays.Moves like that simply show his style of playing is characterized by bravery.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul were dismissed for scores of 10 and 4 runs, respectively. Shubman Gill contributed 20 runs to the total, while Virat Kohli made 17 runs. With four wickets lost early, star batter Rishabh Pant has been working hard to steady the innings for his team.

Ayush Mhatre Breaks Yashasvi Jaiswal's Record with Stunning Knock in Vijay Hazare Trophy

In an impressive display of talent, 17-year-old Ayush Mhatre from Mumbai made headlines with a record-breaking performance against Nagaland during the Vijay Hazare Trophy. The match, played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, saw Mhatre become the youngest player in the world to score over 150 runs in List A cricket, breaking the previous record held by fellow Mumbaikar Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jaiswal had set the record at 17 years and 291 days back in 2019.

Mhatre’s innings was a masterpiece. Opening the batting, he displayed remarkable poise and skill, combining precise strokes with calculated risks. His magnificent knock of 181 runs off 117 balls included 15 boundaries and 11 sixes, leaving the audience in awe of his natural flair and aggressive approach to the game.

The record held by Jaiswal had stood for several years, illustrating the rarity of such extraordinary talent at a young age. Mhatre’s achievement not only surpassed this record but also reinforced Mumbai’s reputation for producing exceptional batting talent. This milestone places Mhatre in an exclusive group of young players who have excelled in List A cricket, alongside notable names such as Robin Uthappa, who achieved a similar feat at 19 years and 63 days, and England's Tom Prest, who made his mark at 19 years and 136 days.

Mhatre's performance in the Vijay Hazare Trophy serves as more than just a record; it signifies a promising future for Indian cricket. Prior to this tournament, Mhatre had been part of the Indian squad for the U-19 Asia Cup, where he scored 176 runs over five innings, averaging 44. Despite playing a crucial role in leading India to the final, the team ultimately fell short in a thrilling match against Bangladesh.

Mhatre’s historic knock has captured the imagination of cricket fans and experts alike, and it’s clear that he is a talent to watch closely in the coming years. His remarkable achievement at such a young age is a testament to his skill, temperament, and determination, making him one of the most exciting young prospects in Indian cricket today.

The third umpire in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Sharfuddoula Saikat, raised eyebrows with his decisions in the match that was played on Day 5 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The 48-year-old Bangladeshi umpire made a wrong decision when India’s opener, Yashasvi Jaiswal was given out caught behind though there was no spike on the snickometer.

On the final day of the fourth test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, when Yashasvi Jaiswal got dismissed, it was essentially the moment that sealed the win for Australia, since the match finished dramatically, with a lot of controversies. Jaiswal had a good innings, making 84 runs from 208 balls, and it looked like India could manage a draw to push the series into a final match in Sydney but then, India broke down in the last session, and Australia won an important game by 184 runs, moving ahead 2-1 in the series.

The left-handed batter got into a conflict when he tried to hit a ball down the leg side from Pat Cummins and ended up being caught by Alex Carey. At first, umpire Joel Wilson said he wasn't out but then Cummins did not agree and asked for a review. The review got passed to another umpire from Bangladesh named Sharfuddoula Saikat. When they looked at the replay, you could definitely see the ball brush against Jaiswal's gloves. Although, what was abnormal was when they checked the monitor, it didn't show any spikes or sudden changes, which was unexpected

A HEARTBREAKING DECISION FOR JAISWAL AS HE IS GIVEN OUT! #INDvsAUSpic.twitter.com/94zH5Q08qH

— Sports World 🏏⚽. (@ShamimSports) December 30, 2024

Snicko doesn't match visual feedback

Sharfuddoula saw something strange with Jaiswal's glove and an unusual change in how the ball moved, so he didn't simply go with what the evidence showed. Instead, he looked at more camera angles. He told Wilson to change his original decision because he spotted a dent on Jaiswal's glove, along with how abnormal the ball's path looked, even though the evidence didn't show any obvious hit.

Jaiswal was understandably upset and tried to reason with the umpires, but Wilson and his colleague Michael Gough stood by the decision, marking the beginning of the end for India as it broke apart their last solid batting partnership.

The good part is, Sharfuddoula is going to be the umpire in the final test at the SCG too. People have really noticed how intelligent and informed he is when making decisions because he seems to have a good gut feeling regarding them. He's not new to this at all he's been an umpire in 130 international games, with 15 of those being test matches and he's been the TV umpire 67 times. This experience makes him one of the umpires who's been around the scene for quite a while, knowing his material in cricket.

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal created a new history in Australia after scoring 80+ runs in both innings of the Melbourne Test. 

While most of the Indian batters have struggled in the ongoing Australia tour, Indian opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, who just celebrated his 23rd birthday last Saturday (December 28), has impressed with his confident batting in this series despite some early dismissals.

Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century in the Perth Test

Opener Jaiswal scored 161 runs during India’s second innings of the Test series opener at Perth Stadium (Perth), where India won by 295 runs. Although he scored only one double-digit score in the next four Test innings of this tour (24), Jaiswal impressed in the tough Melbourne Test with his two 80+ scores.

Jaiswal scored 82 and 84 runs in Melbourne Test

In reply to Australia’s first innings total of 474 runs in the Melbourne Test, Jaiswal scored 82 runs in India’s first innings. Chasing down the 340-run target in the fourth innings of the Test match, Jaiswal once again proved his caliber to perform in a challenging situation and scored fighting 84 runs.

Youngest to score 80+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia

To achieve this record, Jaiswal even broke the Australian record. While he started the Test match at the age of 22 years and 364 days and ended it at the age of 23 years and 2 days, Jasiwal set a new record for the youngest player to score 80+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia.

Former Australian cricketer Doug Walters was the previous record holder with 242 and 103 during the 1969 Sydney Test against West Indies, while he started the Test match at the age of 23 years and 55 days. 

Youngest Indian batter to score 50+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia

The 23-year-old Jaiswal became the youngest Indian batter to score 50+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia. Virat Kohli was the previous record holder when the 26-year-old scored 115 and 141 runs in the 2014 Adelaide Test. 

Third youngest among the overall visitors

Meanwhile, after the 20-year-old Bangladesh cricketer Hannan Sarkar (76 and 55 in the 2003 Cairns Test) and the 22-year-old South African Roy McLean (81 and 76* in the 1953 Melbourne Test), Jaiswal became the third-youngest visiting batter to record 50+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia.

Only Indian opener to score 80+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia

Jaiswal was the fourth Indian opener to score 50+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia. However, the young left-handed batter was the first among them to score 80+ runs in both innings of a Test match in Australia.

Everyone's talking about how Yashasvi Jaiswal got out in the fourth test of the Border-Gavaskar trophy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) . It happened in the 71st over, when Pat Cummins, the captain of the Australian team, was bowling to the Indian opener.Jaiswal, who was batting fluently on 84, attempted a pull shot off a short delivery from Cummins. The Australian fielders immediately appealed for a catch behind, but the on-field umpire ruled Jaiswal not out. Dissatisfied, Cummins opted for a review.

The Controversial Decision

The third umpire reviewed the footage to make a difficult decision they didn't see any clear evidence from the snickometer, which is supposed to detect if the ball hits the bat. However, slowing the playback showed the ball's path possibly moved slightly near Jaiswal's gloves. With this clue, the original decision got flipped, and Jaiswal was ruled out for hitting the ball behind him.

Lot of fans and experts were really not feeling the decision because they thought visual proof shouldn't be trusted more than Snickometer data. Social media was filled with assorted arguments, making the cricket fans split on whether the call was right or not.

Reactions:

BCCI's Stand

Yashasvi Jaiswal was surely safe, Rajeev Shukla, the BCCI Vice-President, said. Shukla was very upset regarding the call and mentioned, the third umpire should have checked the technology better, the Snickometer didn't even show a spike. In the end, the BCCI asked for a review on how decisions are made in situations like this.

Yashaswi jayaswal was clearly not out. Third umpire should have taken note of what technology was suggesting. While over ruling field umpire third umpire should have solid reasons . @BCCI @ICC @ybj_19

Former Players' Opinions

Sunil Gavaskar, a famous cricket player from India, didn't think it was a good call. Gavaskar said that if technology can't really prove there's an edge, the batter should be given a fair chance. Separately , Ricky Ponting, a major name in Australian cricket, agreed with the choice made. Ponting said it was obvious there was a deflection and the third umpire had all he needed to change the original decision.

🗣️ "If the evidence of the technology is not to be taken, why have it at all? That is something that would definitely be the query as far as the Indians are concerned."

India's Captain Weighs In

When Rohit Sharma, the captain of India, was questioned regarding the dismissal, he remarked, It wasn't visible on Snicko but you could see it change direction with your own eyes, there was a deviation. It seemed he made contact with it. Although it's a hard decision, we accept what was concluded.

Neutral Expert View

Simon Taufel, who used to be a top umpire, supported the third umpire. Taufel mentioned that the umpire's decision followed the rules. Taufel explained that even though technology helps make decisions, it can still make mistakes Taufel said that you can see the ball bounce off the glove in this situation.

Match Impact

India was possibly doing well with a score of 142/4 and it looked like they were going to put up a good total but then Jaiswal got out, and things got worse after that. The team crumbled and only added 13 more runs, ending up with 155 for the second innings. Australia found it simple to go after that and came out on top by 184 runs, making the series obtain even at 2-2.
