Marnus Labuschagne responds to fans questions about bowlers
A fan named Martin asked Labuschagne who were the top 3 Test bowlers that he had faced in his career. Labuschagne replied:
“Cummins, Ashwin & Jofra.”
It was not surprising to see Marnus name the bowlers he did because Pat Cummins is currently the number one bowler on the ICC Test Rankings for bowlers, whereas Ravichandran Ashwin is right behind him on number two. Jofra Archer is currently injured, otherwise, he would have also been present in the Top 10.
