‌WATCH | Labuschagne’s one-of-a-kind celebration after castling the stumps with corker

07/17/2024

Reaching your targets brings unparalleled satisfaction, offering a unique joy that resonates deeply with one's sense of accomplishment. Marnus Labuschagne may be a great batter but he always enjoys his bowling as it was evident in the T20 Blast contest between Glamorgan and Kent on Tuesday.

Winning a rain-delayed toss and choosing to field first, Kent Spitfires induced early blows in the opposition dugout by William Smale, Thomas Bevan, and Kiran Carlson inside the powerplay. However, a fifty from Marnus Labuschagne guided them to 145/6 total in the first innings. In response, Twanda Muyeye and Daniel Bell-Drummond fell inside the field restrictions, exposing their middle order against spin. Subsequently, the ploy to bring Labuschagne into the attack worked in favor of Glamorgan as he broke into a unique celebration after casting the stumps.

Following a powerplay score reading 54/2, Labuschagne sprayed a fuller delivery slower through the air at the middle stump that drew Marcus O'Riordan on the front foot. The right-hander was early into a sweep and failed to pick up the leg break from the Aussie. The ball ultimately went on to clatter the stumps and Labuschagne was seen jubilant and enjoying a unique celebration. He joined hands and gestured a fish-like motion, leaving the teammates and Twitterverse curious.

MARNY, YOU BEAUTY!!!
