Labuschagne ready to challenge Virat Kohli's ego with bouncers: Can you handle Marnus?

The Australian cricketer is eager to bring his signature aggressive style to the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He is determined to bowl bouncers to Kohli, who has a stellar track record in Australian conditions.

"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.

Australia will be without all-rounder Cameron Green in the BGT this year as he will undergo surgery to address his back-related troubles, which will keep him out of action for at least six months. Pat Cummins would want the other players to take responsibility in his absence.

Meanwhile, Labuschagne wants to hit the 135kmph barrier with the ball, which he thinks his teammates will not like that much.

"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.
