Kane Williamson looks back on his cricketing career alongside Virat Kohli, Joe Root and Steve Smith, discussing how the “Fab Four” tag came to describe their shared era. In his reflections, he says the grouping captures the parallel paths of the four batters and the intense competition they generated while playing against one another.
Across outlets, Williamson’s focus remains on how the rivalry shaped his thinking about the period. He describes closer bonds with Kohli and Root, while also emphasizing admiration for Smith’s distinct approach. He presents the matchups between their different styles as a lasting feature of the era.
The main differences in coverage are largely in emphasis rather than content. Two outlets explicitly frame the discussion around the “much-talked-about” tag, while the others present it as a broader reflection triggered by Williamson’s comments.
