"The next Fab 4, I feel, are almost here. Shubman Gill is a part of that Fab 4 and will remain in the future, across formats. The same is true for Yashasvi Jaiswal. He is mainly concentrating on one format now but he'll play all three formats and will be pretty good there as well. Then I am thinking of Harry Brook who will rule the roost in all three formats with his style of play. The 4th player will be Rachin Ravindra. He has both the technique and the temperament," Chopra said in a recent post on X (Photo- Instagram)
