Not long ago, the current Fab 5 was a mere Fab 4 that had got unveiled itself just around the time of the year 2014-15. It was first in the Test matches when these once in a generation batters (Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Steve Smith & Joe Root) were labelled as ‘Test cricket’s young Fab 4’ back in 2014, which had also then got transpired for all formats right after the 2015 World Cup.

While the current exponents of this club might be now brimming with runs and victories that too across all formats and conditions, there’s also massive speculation being done to discover the next young batch of such stellar aces.

Although at present there may be barely any prospects in international cricket which can immaculately form an upcoming Fab club even in one format, some young individuals certainly have allured the cricketing fraternity to maybe potentially bet on them for further such illustrious establishments.

Hence, in this list here’s a prediction regarding the future Fab 5 of international cricket: 

1. Shubman Gill

There’s a no-brainer that at every stage of his cricketing career, Shubman Gill was well-known to tower over the rests and had certainly signified it when he was the player of the tournament in the 2018 U-19 World Cup. Such a penchant had eventually also allowed him to become a regular member of the Test team perhaps also further empowering him now to establish his permanency as a front-line opener.

While it is now all known that Shubman Gill will surely have a prolonged stay in Test cricket, it’s only a matter of time that his limited-overs career soon starts to take a bracing glide to overall establish him as a multi-format player. Indisputably, there’s almost everything that Gill has to ascend in terms of his candidacy for the future of the club of Fabs.

Technically, he is a scrupulous batter, who not only has solid hand-eye coordination or neat wrist work but also can take on genuine fast bowling with his sturdy front-foot pull.

Also, both consistency and his confidence have always been a big hallmark of his batting, but what genuinely sets him apart miles over others is his highly sorted temperament.

Hence, with international cricket being all about acknowledging the upright temperament of a cricketer, Shubman Gill will indubitably be an astounding prospect for the future Fab 5.
