About 20 years back, we had the fab 5 –
— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) November 5, 2019
Sehwag: the most attacking batsman.
Dravid: the most solid batsman.
Tendulkar: the God of batting.
Laxman: the batsman most fun watching.
Ganguly: the most successful captain.
Now, one man has replaced all 5. #HappyBirthdayViratKohli
