Which current players are/will be ATGs?

Pretty simple thread really.
Obviously the fab 4, Cummins, Anderson, and Ashwin are already ATGs.

Who else is already an ATG or do you think will be considered to be so in future?

Honestly, are any of them?

Think only Smith is solidly there tbh.

But to the question, if Bumrah can put on triple his tests played, even if not triple, more than double. Ash possibly, Cummins and Rabada? Anderson is the classic accumulator and tougher to rate. Of the batsmen Kane (for now), and Root are borderline?

Is Cummins an ATG? His home record is outstanding, but I don't think he's had many fantastic away series and his overall away numbers are just ehh.

Root has to be an ATG doesn't he? Only hole in his record is his profile in Australia, and unless he falls off a cliff he should end up with as many runs as Dravid/Ponting at a similar overall average despite playing more of his cricket in a harder batting era than the other two.

Anderson, Ashwin and Smith obviously there

Kohli gets there. The quality of his peak puts him ahead of Root and Williamson, who will also get there.

Jadeja, Cummins and Rabada too

Amongst the younger folks, Bumrah and Pant if they have the longevity

if Bumrah triples the tests he plays at the current rate of production (which is impossible), he will easily be the greatest bowler of all time. That’s a ridiculous metric.

He'll be in the top tier of pacers if he somehow manages it but don't think triple of his current production would make him "easily" the greatest.
