Ranking the great test cricketers who have not retired yet

[Arachnodouche]

Smith
Root/Ashwin
Jadeja
Cummins/Williamson
Bumrah
Kohli (solely on past laurels; he doesn't really deserve to be in this list anymore)
Rabada
Stokes

If we're talking cricketer in the fullest definition of the word then no contemporary is within Jadeja's current sphere of greatness, as much of a meme as he is here. Guy is a guaranteed contribution across conditions in some form or other.

Smith
Ashwin
Cummins
Root
KW
Kohli

Honestly most permutations of these are probably fine. Not even convinced of my own list.
