Marnus Labuschagne, a name which was rather unknown in the cricketing fraternity, rose to the limelight when he was drafted into the Australian team as a concussion substitute in place of Steve Smith in the 2nd test between Australia and England at Lord's.
The right-handed batter scored 59 runs off 100 balls with 8 boundaries and has been a crucial part of the Australian batting ever since. The 27-year old is also widely popular due to his joyful and fun-loving nature, due to which he is also popular among the netizens.
Labuschagne, ever since his debut as a concussion substitute has scored 2,220 runs in 40 innings averaging 56.92 with 6 centuries and 12 fifties. The batter recently posted a video on his official social media, where he has prepared a make-do preparation to practice spins bowling, in his backyard!
In the video, the Aussie batter shows his 'little project' to practice playing spin bowling in the subcontinent conditions. He starts off by showing the mat he has placed, a mat which the batter has used for 'years' to practice batting as the mat provides seam movement.
