IND vs AUS: During the first Test match between India and Australia in Nagpur at the VCA Stadium, Marnu Labuschagne of Australia engaged in light banter with former captain Virat Kohli. In the sixth, Labuschagne fumbled a Jadeja delivery, making Kohli happy. After Labuschagne played the opening ball from Jadeja during the match, Kohli offered the Australian batter a hint from his place in the slips. He later hit a lovely cover drive for a four, for which Kohli praised him.
The Australian batsman expressed his satisfaction with Kohli’s praise and stated he had genuinely picked up a few shots from the star Indian batsman.
“Yes, it’s always flattering when Virat believes your shot there was decent. I definitely picked up a few shots from him, “According to a statement made by Labuschagne in an interview with Sen Cricket.
He responded, “We are here to win the series, so we are going to make sure that we work as hard as we possibly can and battle our way back into the match by putting up a remarkable performance with the bat,” when asked about Australia’s underwhelming performance on Day 1 of the opening game.
At the close of Day 1 of the inaugural Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium here on Thursday, the hosts, India, were in a commanding position against the visitors after captain Rohit Sharma’s unbeaten 56 helped India bowl out Australia for 177. At day’s end, India had a total of 77/1 with Rohit Sharma (56) and Ravichandran Ashwin (0), both of whom were unbroken. Still, the hosts are behind by 100 runs.
