Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne, known for his outstanding batting skills, jokingly mentioned that he would like to bowl bouncers at Virat Kohli during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Labuschagne's playful comments have added more excitement to the highly anticipated Test series between Australia and India.

Despite being primarily known for his batting, Labuschagne’s playful comments have stirred conversations ahead of the series. He also shared his excitement about following in the footsteps of cricket legends like Steve Smith and Kohli, aiming to deliver a strong performance in the Test series

Marnus Labuschagne said in an interview with Channel 7: “I think so. Yeah, I think so. Because they sink energy. You know what are we going to get here? You know? Are you going to get the number three of Australia rolling in, bowling bouncers to Virat Kohli? People want to see that. You want to see, can you pass on his ego like, 'are you going to be ducking bouncers from Marnus?'”

Labuschagne further noted, “I mean, if there's rough. Not if its not there. I mean, but I'm happy to throw in whatever. Yeah, whatever needs, but you'd love to hit a little 135 bouncer. I've got that in me, I reckon. My highest recorded is 132. So 3ks. They (the Australian team) will hate I said that hate that. They all hate that.”
