All of them will get to 10k+ if they play enough matches.

Smith and Kohli will hit 35 or more centuries, Kane 30 or more and Root might reach 30.

The key differentiation will be average and innings played in the most important circumstances. Smith currently leads in both.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Both Smith and Kohli will score 40+ centuries. Kohli will end up around 45, while Smith around 40-42. Neither will beat Tendulkar's 51 ton record. Williamson might or might not get to 30. Root will be in low 30s due the amount of tests England plays, and Root is also the youngest

Smith and Kohli will surely cross that 50 mark in terms of Test hundreds. Smith will have a higher peak than Kohli but the latter will have longevity on his side.

Root is on the decline , but he'll likely regain his form soon and prove why he's in the Fab 4 to start with. He'll likely end up with 30-35 hundreds. We have to keep in mind that he plays most of his Tests in England where wickets are not that flat as Aus or Ind.

Williamson too has been on a decline in test cricket and his record against top teams (Ind, Aus, Eng,SA) is pretty average. But he is quite good at stat padding against the likes of Ban, WI, SL etc. So, he may end up with 30-35 hundreds.

Smith and Kohli to end up as the greatest batsmen of this generation with Kohli slightly ahead of the former thanks to his all format abilities.

I think Smith, Kohli and Root will definitely get to 13000 test runs and has an outside chance of breaking Tendulkar's record of most runs in tests.
