New Zealand National Cricket Team batter Kane Williamson has shared his take on the next Fab Five of cricket. The right-hander went on to pick two players from the India National Cricket Team, along with one each from the Australia National Cricket Team, the England National Cricket Team, and his team.
From India, Kane Williamson first went on to pick Yashasvi Jaiswal. The opening batter has been one of the finest players who has stamped his authority on the international stage in a short span of time. The opening batter, in particular, has set the stage on fire in Test cricket.
Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill have been exceptional with the bat across formats for India
In the 19 Tests that he has played, Yashasvi Jaiswal has slammed 1798 runs at an average of over 52 to go with 4 centuries. He also has slammed one century in Australia, which came during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Perth.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The next Indian name in Kane Williamson’s Fab Five list was Indian white-ball vice-captain Shubman Gill. The young batter is touted as the next big thing in Indian cricket, as he has been exceptional with the bat across all three formats.
Shubman Gill is one of the leading batters for the India National Cricket Team as he has been scoring truckloads of runs for the team. He is currently the No.1 ranked ODI batter and has also been decent in the Tests and T20Is, helping the team register famous wins.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rachin Ravindra, Harry Brook, and Cameron Green – Kane Williamson’s fab five
Kane Williamson also went on to pick Rachin Ravindra in his Fab Five. The young Kiwi batter has already achieved a lot in the three formats. The New Zealand great also picked Harry Brook of England and Cameron Green of Australia.
“The five players that come to mind would be Yashasvi Jaiswal (India), Shubman Gill (India), Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand), Harry Brook (England) and Cameron Green from Australia,” Williamson said on the ‘Bombay Sports Exchange’ podcast, as quoted by TOI.
The line is not the same for everybody – Kane Williamson
Kane Williamson also talked about the way New Zealand approach their cricket, saying that they have a nice guy tag or many tags like underdog, but they try to be more authentic and connect with people. Elaborating on the same, he said:
“The line is not the same for everybody, and everybody comes from different places, different environments, and different cultures. We have had that nice guy tag or many tags like underdog,” Williamson said.
“But it is never a focus for us. It is trying to be more authentic and connect with our people in a really good way, our fans, and it’s great to hear that we have adopted a few billion hopefully here in India, which is helpful just to add to our five million in New Zealand.”
