Marnus Labuschagne conducted a Q&A session on Twitter.

Marnus Labuschange | GettyAustralia batter Marnus Labuschagne on Monday (March 27) conducted a Q&A session on Twitter, where he said that he would love to bat with former India skipper Virat Kohli.

During the session, a fan asked: “If you get a chance to bat with one of the fab 4 excluding smudge, who would that be?”

To which Labuschagne replied: “has to be @imVkohli, we'd run heaps of 2s.”

When asked to describe Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s batting in one word, Labuschagne said: “more than 1 word, but watching him bat is easy on the eye - smooth bat swing.”

In one of the replies, Labuschagne revealed that his favourite team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) is Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

The right-hander also named veteran India off-spinner R Ashwin as the best tweaker he has ever faced.

On being asked by a fan, “Who is moreover difficult to face? Lyon in the nets or Ashwin out there in the middle?”, Labuschange replied: “It’s always harder in the middle regardless of who’s bowling (can’t get out in the nets).”

When asked who is a better T20 batter between Mohammed Rizwan and Suryakumar Yadav, he picked the Indian swashbuckler.

Labuschagne also said he would have loved to face legendary pacers such as Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock and Glenn McGrath.
