International Debutant
Root.2nd best batsman of the modern era.
depends on how you define modern.For me, it’s the 1970s on, so he’s behind Gavaskar,, Richards, Border, Miandad, Tendulkar, Lara, Ponting and Smith record wise and debatably others.

But aesthetically and skills wise he’s amazing, looks like he’s playing a different game than anyone else
 

Patience and Accuracy+Gut

State Vice-Captain

I tend to view the the Fab 4 era as The Modern Era and since then he is a clear no.2 after Smith.
