#2 Marnus Labuschagne wants to emulate Virat Kohli

Labuschagne is hopeful of replicating his Test dominance in all other formats as Kohli and Smith have.

Australia's latest batting sensation, Marnus Labuschagne expressed his desire to emulate the consistency of Indian captain Virat Kohli and the rest of the 'Fab Four' of international cricket. Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson, and Steve Smith have been idolized as the 'Big Four' from the current set of international players.

Labuschagne, who has been in sublime touch since coming as a concussion substitute in Tests, wants to follow in the consistent footsteps of all the four batsmen in all formats. He also stated that batting in different positions for the sake of the national team was something he learned from retired cricketer Mike Hussey and was open to doing the same.

He said -

"You look at the guys I look up to and aspire to - Steve Smith, Virat Kohli, Kane Williamson, Joe Root. They've been doing it for a very long time, five, six years they've been consistent, not just in one format, but two or more formats."

"With the opportunities that might come in the next few months, we'll have to see, but definitely Michael Hussey is a great person to learn from."
