No, you cannot make sushi using basmati or any long grain rice.  Long grain rice is too dry because of its low starch content for sushi and will not stick together when rolled up in nori seaweed sheets.  Short-grain white rice is the best type of rice to use when making sushi, but if you cannot locate short-grain white rice, you will have to use sushi rice instead.  Sushi rice is parboiled rice that has been mixed with vinegar, sugar, and salt. It is available at most grocery stores.
