“You’re looking at three of the greatest players ( the game has seen,” Root said in an interaction with The Analyst’s Virtual Cricket Club.
“They’re three brilliant people to watch play and learn from. I’m not sure I’d put myself in their bracket, to be honest,” he added.
“Virat is probably the most complete player out of the three of them across formats. His ability to chase things down in the limited-overs format and to pace it as well as he does as often as he does and be not out at the end is extraordinary,” Root said.
“He’s got a very good all-round game but you wouldn’t say he’s weaker against spin or pace,” he added.
Meanwhile, all the four three veterans, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson and Jos Buttler are currently in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), playing Indian Premier League (IPL 2020).
