3. Joe Root

The England Test Captain who is always considered in the top 4 batsman list referred to  Virat Kohli, Steve Smith and Kane Williamson, this combination is known as “Fab Four”. Root has the strength of scoring big innings consistently in all formats of cricket, he also made his debut in the Big Bash League playing for the Sydney Thunder.

Although many English players are being seen coming in the IPL since last two years like Stokes, Buttler, Woakes, Wiley, Curran, Mooen Ali. But yet Root has not come to play in the big tournament. Last year there was the name of Root in the Auctions but he went unsold for that season and this year he did not register himself for the auction.
