Root has 57 wickets to his name in 132 Tests, including a five-wicket haul against India in Ahmedabad

Kane Williamson is second on the list, which is a surprise considering Steve Smith started his career as a leg-spinner

Williamson has not bowled much of late, as he has also struggled with his action as well but has 30 wickets to his name in 94 Tests

Steve Smith is the only one out of the four cricketers, who started his career as a bowler before turning into one of the greats of the game with the bat

After playing a few Test matches as a leg-spinner who bats at 8, Smith hasn't bowled much since the initial phase

In 99 Tests, Smith has picked up 19 wickets with his best being 3/18 against England at Lord's in 2013

Virat Kohli has the worst numbers with the ball among Fab 4, also because he bowls the least
