Marnus Labuschagne builds his perfect batters | Direct Hit 

Sanga's cover drives are one of a kind.. so elegant and perfectly executed..

Whenever lefty batters were remembered ; Brian lara always top. Pure class Classic touch Full of temperament Nice behavior.

You can see why Marnus is such a complete player already. Such a methodical approach to building the perfect batsman. Future legend for sure!

Tendulkar's straight drive was the last and final phase in the evolution of that shot ❤️

Even the arrow should be shy in front of Sachin's Straight Drive. Pure Class 💯

Kevin Pietersen was really a gem for England

What about Lara? 😂Perhaps the greatest fast hander of all time, his bat swing, cover drives etc gave goosebumps

Every shot Brian Lara played was class, elegant. He was mostly ferocious vs the spinners. Destructive when in his groove

There is no better, pure cover driver of the cricket ball than Sangakkara..

Defence of dravid .. flamboyance of lara ❤️❤️😃

As a lefty he could've added Lara's strokeplay and domination against spin!!

Marnie is such a ball of sunshine. Love him.

Marnus Said Sachin, Langer, Hussey, Sangakkara , cook etc...he likes to watch and not included lara but they all are huge fans of Lara's style. Langer- If I have to pay to watch someone, it would be lara Sangakkara- I would give all my runs away if I can bat like lara Hussey- I just wanna to drop his catch so that he can carry on longer at the crease and it's just beautiful sight to watch him. Sachin- I love to have lara's flair. Aggressive nature, high back lift and lara as package is something special. Cook for a particular matchLara scored a century in between lunch and tea and I have witnessed another level of batsmanship.He is a Genius at work Kallis- Lara can control the game, can attack and can defend. Best batsman I have bowled to. Marnus might not have seen lara much.Its his opinion. Everyone has their opinion. But people who know lara never deny the fact watching him is one of the beautiful sights in cricket.

Kevin peterson was goated in his prime

Marnus is a good batsman

What about Gilchrist?? He was an amazing left hander, rocks balls out for sixes.

Pietersen was just outstanding, I don't hv words to describe him complete swagger, best cricketer to come out of England alongwith Cook nd Root. it's sad that he didn't play longer nd was disrespected by English board

Like how he did lefty and righty separate. Proper nuffy

I like how whenever such videos are posted, experts pop up in the comments with players not mentioned as if cricket nerd like Marnus clearly doesn’t know the players you lot are mentioning😂.

The god of cricket the great Sachin Tendulkar there was a time when he gets out whole India switched off their TV's u will be forever missed legend❤️

Sourav Gangly’s cover drive and square drive is just pleasing to the eyes

Kumar sangakara perfect class cover drive 🔥

Considering the bowler's friendly pitches in 90s and early 20s, the quality fast bowlers he faced, the expectations of a billion people he carried SACHIN TENDULKAR is the perfect BATSMAN of all time 💯💯💯🥇

RHB : Straight Drive : Tendulkar Cover drive : Kohli Cut Shot :Jayawardene Pull Shot : Ponting On Drive/ Midwicket slog : Pietersen Determination :Dravid LHB : Straight Drive : Lara Cover Drive :Sangakarra Cut Shot : Hussey Pull Shot : Hayden Midwicket Slog :Yuvraj Straight aggressive strokes : Gayle Determination : Bevan

Perfect choices by Marnus

Spot on with the list 🔥🔥all the best from india

King kohli and god of cricket Tendulkar.. 😍😍🔥👏🇮🇳

He missed Wajahtulla Wasti and Akash Chopra. Other than that all are perfect choices.

Man how can you forget Brian Lara the best left hand batsman ever

Not a single shot of Lara, i mean he is arguably the greatest left hander to ever play the test cricket, his cover drives, square cuts, pulls were just amazing.

In modern era one thing you can get from root that is strike rotation and always busy in scoring also he is far better player of spin He can score on turning track as well as seam and swing condition and also bouncy track Only problem with him converting those fifty in hundreds Although he has 25 hundred and more than 52 score of fifty Joe root

when I read the tittle I was pretty sure that Smith is one of them he will even add Smith in a perfect bolwer list 🤣

All these guys saying Brain Lara - the kid is 27! I love that he didn't pretend to know how great Lara was and went with the guys HE grew up watching. Numpties.

Most of the people don’t mention Sachin’s backfoot punch . No body played it perfect and forgot to mention leg glance shot

Sachin's paddle sweep. Nobody hits better and finer than Sachin. Also Ganguly's ability to find gaps in cover . Dravid's defence, Laxman's wristy shots, Gilly's sweep shots,

Love this series! Do josh Hazelwood and his perfect bowler

Marnus: my perfect batter Me: you’re the perfect batter

Sachin Tendulkar's straight drive is the best shot ever!!!!

Perfect Right Handers - Dravid, AbdV, S. Waugh, K. Williamson, Viv Richards Perfect Left Handers - Lara, Gilchrist, Sangakkara, Jayasuriya, G. Sobers

He should have included jaywardane or Williamson against the spin Theri dominance is pure class Over the covers

Cover Drive- Virat Straight Drive - Sachin Leg Glance/Flick- Laxman Pull Shot- Ricky Ponting Cut Shot- Joe Root Aggression- Viv Richards Defence- Rahul Dravid

The way he plays spin completely resembles Kohli

Tendulkar.. 😍😍🔥

I think saeed anwar was all class in the lefty and younus khan's sweep was unique and yousufs cover drive and sehwags cut shot was unmatchable

Sehwag's cut shot was the best for right handers in tests....

His picks are typical of every 90s kid. Our heroes growing up. Labuschagne will also make a name for himself in the gentleman game

Lara driver , Ganguly (step out to spinner) and Yuvraj flick and pull are worth to be mentioned.

Cover drive better than Ganguly? And no Lara in the list..? I know its his list but can’t miss these two !!

In test cricket and specially in the period of 1990-2005 I think the two batsman has no competition for the lefties and for the righties ♡The right h. batsman= SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR🔝 ♡The left hander batsman= BRIAN CHARLES LARA🔝

You beauty...Marnus

Marnus is evolving to one among them

I'll also add 'The wall's' front foot defence, defence in general.. Such a treat to the eyes

Of all of Sachin’s shots, I never got why his straight dive was singled out as his signature shot🤷🏻‍♂️. Always thought all his other shots were just as gorgeous, classy and elegant!

Marnus basically wanna appease all and sundry..Such a nice bloke lil' Marnus

I think Sachin's backfoot punch must be mentioned.... My favorite shot of all time

What about legend brain lara. Every shot in the book (right posture)

brian lara was too flamboyant

He is all new generation he has not seen Azar,s leg side play,Dravid’s patience n determination n leg flicks,Lara i mean he was complete left handed batsmen or u can add Ganguly’s cover drive👍

Marnus perfectly sums up that he started understanding cricket after 2007

As a lefty myself, anytime someone misses jayasuriya's cut shots in these kinds of videos I get really sad 😔

Straight Drive: Sachin Tendulkar Pull/Hook: Ricky Ponting Cover Drive: Kumar Sangakara/R.Dravid Flick: Alastair Cook/ VVS Laxman Back foot punch: H. Amla/ K.Willamson Square Cut: Brian Lara Late cut: Sachin Tendulkar Upper Cut: Sachin Tendulkar Front foot Defence: Rahul Dravid Leaving: Steven Smith Sweep: AB de Villiers

2:52 didnt he say jayasooriya?

Everybody loves virat's cover drives!

He didn't take Brian Lara's square cut which is one of the most beautiful shots of all time along with Sangakkara's cover drive.

1:09 I believe that's called the Flamingo Shot

He seems like a student of the game

What a nice guy. Top player too.

alastair cook is the greatest of all time

Virat kohli's cover drive ❤

In the comments 33%- Sachins straight drive 33%- Sangas cover drive 33%- Why is Lara missing ? 1%- Others

Sachin’s Straight drive .. still goosebumps

How can you forget sanat jausuriya flick shot 😎.

outstanding batsman

It would have been incredible to miss one of the Waughs but he missed both???

Ross Taylor also plays that JL’s kinda square drive beautifully.

That Sangakkara cover drive is pure therapy

Everyone plays best shots of their own skills but only ab de Villiers plays all shot with perfection and charm God of shots🥰😍ABD

I was expecting Lara's name right at the top when he talked about lefties. Surprised that he wasn't even in the list!!

Sir Alastair cook can still fit in that eng 11 to be honest

Shame there's no Lara in there, and I'm personally a big fan of that Joe Root back foot punch/steer behind point! Picking a separate right and left hander is so Marnus though

Playing spin in turning track didn't matter in selection of both the right and left hander although most those mentioned here are good at it.

Marnus shouldn't be humble to the fact that he's number one test batsmen Interviewer: Build your perfect batter Marnus: Me :)

Yuvraj's slog is right up there

Backfoot punch by Tendulkar. The greatest shot ever in cricket.

Sanga's cover drive. Nothing better 😍

Put 'em all together and you get AB De Villiers!! My opinion, whether anyone likes it or not!! The most complete batsman to ever play the game❤️❤️❤️

Sachin Tendulkar For Ever 💕

Kevin Pietersen in a nut shell : Where ARROGANCE meet ELEGANCE

My perfect batsman is Steve Smith is number one batsman I'm Steve Smith fan

No.... Words for marnus... Iam from india and iam biggest fan of marnus...

Everything on point ❣️ was expecting yuvraj ruthlessness for left handers 💯

He probably did not see Lara playing is why he isn't mentioned. There's a reason Viv Richards isn't mentioned either. People need to realize how old this kid is, or rather, how young

Sachin sir and Virat kholi is always perfect combination 🇮🇳🧡🕉️🚩

Great video!, only missing Brian Laras flair for the leftie.

among left handers wonder why Lara, Gilchirist were missed out

One of the current Test players will surpass many in the future

Yuvi's bat flow is one of its kind

Sourav Ganguly and Sanga's coverdrive are perfect.

Virat Kohli s cover drive 😂😂😂 The perfect disaster ingredient

No Lara, Saeed Anwar, Sobers mentioned? Come on bruh.
