1 min read

Virat Kohli or Sachin Tendulkar, “who’s your favourite player?” was the query posed to Indian opener Shubman Gill as he continued his wonderful entry into Test cricket by scoring 50 within the Indian first innings on Day 2 of the third Test on the SCG. Australian participant Marnus Labuschagne, standing at ahead brief leg, was heard on the stump mic asking Gill questions.

Labuschagne requested Gill about his favorite batsman. “Who’s your favourite player?” he requested between deliveries of Starc’s second over.
“I will tell you after the match,” replied Gill.
Labuschagne was not glad with the reply and he went on to ask whether or not it was Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli.
“After the ball… Sachin? Do you reckon Virat?” he mentioned.
Labuschagne carried on when Rohit Sharma was on strike as nicely, who scored 26, opening alongside Gill within the third Test.

“Hey what did you do in quarantine?” Labuschagne requested Rohit, who made a comeback to Indian XI on this Test match after spending 14 days in quarantine.
