#3 High praise for Marnus Labuschagne from Indian captain

Labuschagne recently made his ODI debut against India

Indian captain Virat Kohli has praised Australia's latest sensation Marnus Labuschagne, calling him a player to look out in the future. In the post-match press conference, Kohli highlighted Labuschagne's positive attitude towards the game, his eagerness to play all the important situations of the game and take it head-on.

Kohli felt that his consistency puts him in line to perform in any format of the game as he is an honest student of the game and gives his 100 percent.

"He's a quality player. We were talking outside... he's very sure of what he wants to do. Again, body language, intent, he's there, he's running hard between the wickets, he wants the ball (in the field). I think he's got the right mindset to be a consistent player; to be a top player in the world for a while."

"He's shown that in Test cricket, he's shown that in one-day cricket, and I'm sure if he plays T20 cricket, he'll show the same clarity there as well."
