When it comes to building a desired XI from the pool of active players then Virat Kohli is one name that every fan or expert would pick. However, the fans and experts are not the only entities as the player is quite famous among his opponents as well. Recently, Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne got the chance to name Kohli as the preferred partner.
During a Q and A session on Twitter, a fan asked Marnus Labuschagne about who would he pick among the fab 4 as his likely partner. The fab 4 is a term given to the consortium of most consistent players in the prevailing scene of cricket. The group consists of Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, and Joe Root. Labuschagne ruled out Smith as he already plays with him for Australia, and among the remaining three the 28-year-old chose Kohli.
