CWC 2019: Five Indian cricketers and their English equivalents

#1 Virat Kohli and Joe Root

England v India: Specsavers 4th Test - Day One

Virat Kohli and Joe Root are a part of the modern 'Fab 4'. They have established themselves as the best batsmen of this decade. Their batting performances are very important for their teams, and they play a key role in deciding the fate of the game. They come in at No. 3 in the limited over formats and at No. 4 in Test matches.

They are also the captains for their countries. While Virat Kohli captains India in all 3 formats of the game, Joe Root leads England in the longer version of the game. Both of them enjoyed the year 2017 as it was their most prolific year in terms of run scoring in ODI cricket.

The way these 2 modern maestros perform could be instrumental in deciding the winner of the 12th edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
