2 min read

By India Today Sports Desk: Matthew Hayden commented on the hilarious Marnus Labuschagne nap incident from day three of the WTC Final between India and Australia and stated he had by no means seen such a factor in any dressing room.

When Warner was making his method again for one, Labuschagne had hit his toes up within the dressing room and had his eyes closed making an attempt to catch a nap. As quickly as he heard the noise from the gang, No.3 Labuschagne needed to rise up and stroll in to bat.

This prompted plenty of hilarious feedback from the commentary staff and followers on social media.

Labuschagne revealed why he determined to take a fast nap through the second innings of the match. The Aussie batter stated he was simply making an attempt to relaxation his eyes and calm his nerves a little bit bit.

“I was just resting my eyes between balls and just relaxing,” Labuschagne informed SEN Cricket after the day’s play.

“I was trying to calm my nerves a little bit, you can’t watch the game all the time, I got up there and was awake pretty soon.

“I didn’t have too many rests there when Siraj banged that first one in,” stated Labuschagne.

Hayden commented on the incident and stated that Labuschagne is sort of a battery and is somebody who is consistently on. The former opener stated he had by no means seen something like that in any dressing room, not to mention an Australian one.

“Well, at some point of time when you have so much energy, you have to run out of it. He’s like a battery. He is constantly on.”

“I am sure I have never seen anything like this in any dressing room, let alone an Australian dressing room. It’s unbelievable stuff,” stated Hayden.

Labuschagne will restart his innings on day 4 together with his rating at 41.
