Virat Kohli has completely altered the meaning of consistency with his terrific performances with the bat in the last decade. Kohli has surpassed many of the world's greatest batsmen in terms of scoring runs. The key reason why Kohli has received so much praise is that he scores runs briskly. He is one of the busiest players in the middle and he also knows how to switch gears at the right moment of time.

Just like Kohli, Steve Smith has proven himself as one of the most reliable players of this era. Irrespective of the format he is playing, Smith always performs well for his team. His supreme statistics in the batting department have played a vital role in getting him into the elusive 'Fab 4' club of the modern times.

Though Kohli and Smith were a part of the same RCB squad once, they never played a match together.
