‘Has to be Virat Kohli’ - Marnus Labuschagne reveals his dream batting partner from Fab four barring Steve Smith

On Monday, March 27, the number one ranked Test batter in the world, Marnus Labuschangne, decided to interact with his fans and started a small Q&A session on Twitter. Within minutes, thousands of his followers asked him various questions, out of which the questions regarding Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the hot favourites.

Labuschagne picked up one question and answered that he would love to bat alongside Virat Kohli among the Fab four if Steve Smith is not in consideration. The 28-year-old added that since they are good runners in-between the wicket, the duo can take a lot of 2s.

“Has to be @imVkohli, we'd run heaps of 2s,” Labuschagne replied.

Meanwhile, the Australia international has also lauded Rohit Sharma and stated that it’s very pleasant for him to watch the Indian skipper bat. He stated that the 35-year-old has a smooth bat swing, and that’s what he loves about the opener.

“More than one word, but watching him bat is easy on the eye - smooth bat swing,” Labuschagne said.
