Marnus Labuschagne Aims To Bowl Bouncers To Virat Kohli

With less than one month remaining before the start of India vs Australia 5-match Test series, the battle to gain the psychological advantage has already kicked off. Shots have been fired from Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne, who aims to bowl a bouncer to none other than Virat Kohli . In a usual satirical manner, Labuschagne has given a spoiler of what's in store for the fans in the upcoming IND vs AUS affair.

"What are you going to get there? Are you going to get the number three of Australia rolling in bowling bouncers to Virat Kohli ? I think people want to see that. You want to see, can you play on someone's ego? Are you going to be ducking bouncers from Marnus?" Labuschagne said on The Grade Cricketer.

Further highlighting his ability to bowl, Marnus has set the objective straight. He wants to click his fastest bowling speed-135 kmph- in the series against India. The right-hander brought out that he has bowled at 132 Kmph in the past and would look to bend his back to better that measure by 3 notches.

"I'm happy to throw in whenever. Whatever the team needs. I'd love to hit a little 135 kmph bouncer. I got that in me. My highest recorded is 132 kmph, so just three k more. The boys hate that. They'll hate that I've said that I've got 135 in me," Labuschagne added.

What do you think, will Marnus Labuschagne prove to be handy with the ball for Australia and walk-by-talk by bowling a bouncer to Kohli, who has accumulated heaps of runs in Australian conditions? He might as well, but better not take the risk of bowling a short ball to Rohit Sharma . A short ball at 135 kmph to Indian captain, would be asking for trouble.
