Australia vs India: Marnus Labuschagne ready to open if the team wants.



The Australian batsman, Marnus Labuschagne during a live video conference said he is flexible to bat anywhere. The home team is currently backstabbed by the number of injuries to the side in the ongoing series. Marnus Labuschagne said, he is ready to open if the team wants him to take that role.



The test series will begin from 17th December with the first game as the Day/Night pink ball test.



The opener, David Warner and Will Pucovski has been ruled out of the first game due to injuries. The former batsman suffered Groin Injury and is not fully convinced to take part in the first test game. While the latter struck the ball into his head during batting in the first test practice match against India A. Puckvski is ruled out due to concussion.



<h2>Marnus Labuschagne on opening:</h2>



?Look, whatever is best for the team, whatever the team wants, that?s our work as players that we do what is best for the side. If management wants me to open the innings, then that?s what I will do, it is a team sport and it is more importantly winning the matches. If this is the best way to win games then we will surely follow that,? Labuschagne said during a live video conference on Saturday.



The most probable opening batsman, Joe Burns is struggling for his form of late. Talking about Burn?s form Marnus said, ? I spoke to Burns a few nights ago, he is doing alright, we have all been there where we just want to score runs. A few bad innings cannot judge a player?s ability. We have full faith in Joe and if he is taken to the side he will surely do good for the side. I just hope he gets some runs in the second innings of the second test practice game against India A.?



The game gets a bit tough for the batsmen when the day comes to an end.



<h2>We face best bowlers in nets, Labuschagne:</h2>



?I saw a few overs in the evening and wickets, it gets much supportive to the bowlers when it starts to be dark. But that?s not a big deal it is a part of the Day/Night game. It becomes a bit touch to bat but exciting at the same time when you play against the best. It is going to be really good.?



The batsman also heaped praises on the bowlers, we are good at batting that is just because we face some of the deadly bowlers in the nets. Hazlewood, Cummins, Pattinson and Starc, and a lot more are the best in the business and we are proud to have them.



When asked about the opposition bowling, Labuschagne said, look we are all prepared for the game. In international matches, you see a lot of each other. They (Indian bowlers) are definitely doing good. Jasprit Bumrah especially the last ODI performed really nice but we are ready to accept the challenge.



India and Australia will be playing for the four-game test series starting 17th December. The series will carry huge importance as it will be counted in the World Test Championship.

Australia vs India: Marnus Labuschagne says we need to be disciplined to put India back on the pressure.



Australia vs India: After an embarrassing defeat in the second game, Australia is finding ways to mark a comeback in the four matches test series. The third game of the Border Gavaskar Trophy will begin on 07th January in Sydney while the Aussies are finding strategies to counter the India threat.



Australian top-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne feels that the team needs some strict ways to counter the visitors in the third Test. Aussies have to be strongly disciplined to comeback against India in the third game.



?Indian bowlers came up with a plan for us in the previous game? and made sure they put up the heavy field on the leg side. Their bowlers bowled tight lines and according to the field. This slowed down our scoring rate as the players will be restricted to just one run instead of four.



<h2>Australia need to be disciplined says Labuschagne:</h2>



?We (Australia) need to be utterly disciplined and come up with much better ways to tackle them put them under pressure,? Marnus Labuschagne said in a virtual press conference.



Labuschagne who is the leading run-getter in the ongoing test series for Australia also talked about the batting standards. He said that they need to do a lot better and keep grinding in that order.



?Rotating strikes and finding the right boundaries are something that is often talked about when facing any bowling department. It is always better for the batsmen and team if they find the little upper hand against a certain bowler,? Labucshagne said.



?There are a lot of things we are always talking about and staying on top of it. We are making sure that when we step into the field next time, we are brave enough to implement those when the situation arises. It doesn't have to be pretty, Aussies got to keep grinding,? he added.



Team India missed out of some of the key players in the test series, Virat Kohli, Mohammad Shami, Ishant Sharma and now Umesh Yadav has been out of the team. Despite this Ajinkya Rahane led side made a strong comeback with eight wicket win against Australia in the second Melbourne Test.

IPL 2021: Marnus Labuschagne registers for the IPL 2021 auctions.



Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021: Australian star all-rounder Marnus Labuschagne hints his participation in the cash-rich league. Labuschagne showed his desire to feature in the T20 extravaganza during the post-match talks in the ongoing Big Bash League.



The fourteenth season of Indian Premier League (IPL) will conduct its player auction on 18th February in Chennai following the first two test games against England.



The 26-years old batsman feels that his participation is not in his hands. Though he will put his name in the auction table, the rest remain to see.



?I think so, I think so [will be registering for the IPL]. That will obviously be released really soonish anyway. You throw your name in the hat and see what happens. You know, like I?ve said that the IPL is a great competition. Personally, I would love to be part of it but, let?s see what happens,? Labuschagne said at a post-match interview of the BBL.



If Labuschagne gets a franchise, it will be his debut season for the cash-rich league. Most probably he will be picked by some franchise and could also lead to the bidding war after his fierce performance in the ongoing Big Bash League with both bat and boll.



<h2>IPL 2021 Dates, Venues, Schedule:</h2>



The upcoming edition of IPL will be held in the usual window of April-June and as per some of the reports, the opener will be held on 11th April between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals.



The finalists of the last season play the opener of the new season. The venues of the tournament will be shortened due to the travel restrictions and protocols.



If reports are to be believed, Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, DY Patil Stadium, Reliance Cricket Stadium in Navi Mumbai, and the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) are under the eyes to the organisers.



BCCI treasurer, Arun Dhumal recently in a statement said that BCCI does not even have to look at the back-up overseas venues as the situation is improving in the country.



Last time, IPL was moved to UAE due to the hard pandemic and BCCI had to pay a heavy cost for scheduling the tournament in UAE.

IPL 2021: 3 Players KKR might target in IPL 2021 auctions.



Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021: The two times champions of the IPL have been in a constant debacle since the last two years. The 2020 IPL was no less, KKR failed to capitalise on the starts they got and had to do a lot of permutation and combination to seal the playoffs berth. However, they could not qualify due to lack of points at the end on playoffs.



The Knights will be keen on changing their feat and perform their best in the upcoming season of IPL. KKR mid-season changed the leadership as Dinesh Karthik stepped down and Eoin Morgan was appointed as the skipper.



In the coming season, KKR decided to go with the majority of the previous squad and have not released many cricketers. It will be interesting to watch their picks in the IPL 2021 auctions that are scheduled for 18th February in Chennai.



In this article, we will discuss three players KKR might target in the IPL 2021 auctions.



<h2>3 Players KKR might target in IPL 2021 auctions:</h2>



<h2>Alex Hales:</h2>



Opening was the issue for KKR last time they came out to play at UAE. Shubman Gill along with Sunil Narine didn?t work out for them. They can opt for Alex Hales who has been in tremendous form lately.&nbsp;



In the recently concluded BBL, Hales emerged as the highest run-scorer for Sydney Thunders. Shubman Gill along with Alex Hales could be a deadly pair for KKR. The right-handed batsman has scored 543 runs in 15 games which includes a century.



<h2>Shivam Dube:</h2>



The lack of Indian all-rounder at the middle order has ticked the KKR management for a while. With Andree Russell going through a lean patch of his form and Sunil Narine failing to connect ball, Shivam Dube can act as the shield for the Knight Riders.



Shivam Dube was released by RCB ahead of IPL 2021 auctions and he will head to the auctions. KKR can occupy the all-rounder into their arsenal and maximise the strength. The IPL 2021 will be played in India and most probably in the outskirts of Maharashtra, he being the regular player of these conditions can become a lethal weapon for them.



<h2>Marnus Labuschagne:</h2>



The Australian all-rounder will be the one player who will cause the bidding war between the franchises. Labuschagne in the BBL season 10 performed superbly and acted as a pure all-rounder.



KKR has a slot for the overseas player, they can run after the Aussie star.? In the 6 outings in BBL 10, Labuschagne scored 176 runs with a strike rate of 123 and picked 10 crucial scalps for his side Brisbane Heat.

Vivo IPL 2021: 3 overseas Batsmen who can come as a replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021.



Vivo IPL 2021: The second phase of the Vivo IPL 2021 has suffered an early shake as a couple of key players have pulled out of the tournament either due to personal reasons or due to some injuries concerns. High stature players like Jos Buttler, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, Pat Cummins, Jhye Richardson, Riley Meredith, Adam Zampa, Kane Richardson and a few others have already withdrawn from the lucrative T20 league and the numbers are expected to increase as time progresses.



Franchises have already started signings of the new recruits to cover the voids created by the players who have pulled out. Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) earlier announced the roping in of Wanindu Hasaranga and Dushmantha Chameera, Punjab Kings roped in Nathan Ellis, Rajasthan Royals (RR) signed Glenn Phillips for the remainder of the Vivo IPL 2021.



This article will walk you through the top 3 overseas Batsmen who are most probable to come as the replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021.



<h2>3 overseas Batsman who can come as a replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021:</h2>



<h3>Marnus Labuschagne:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Marnus-Labuschagne.jpg" alt="Marnus Labuschagne playing for Brisbane Heat in the BBL." class="wp-image-68019"/><figcaption>Marnus Labuschagne playing for Brisbane Heat in the BBL.</figcaption></figure>



The Australian batting sensation Marnus Labuschagne is the first name on the list and is most probable to feature in the IPL 2021 if he agrees in terms with any of the IPL franchises. Labuschagne has his own pedigree in international cricket and is often called the successor of Steven Smith. The cricketer is well known for his distinct style of batting.



Labuschagne has not had a great time in T20 cricket. He has been involved in 15 T20 matches in Australia?s Big Bash League (BBL) where he has amassed 273 runs at an average of 19.50 and strike rate of 113.75.



IPL franchises can keep him as an all-rounder for the remainder of the fourteenth season. He has 11 wickets in 12 innings in BBL and can serve a great value in the IPL.

<h3>Devon Conway:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/08/Devon-Conway-T20I.jpg" alt="Devon Conway" class="wp-image-68020"/><figcaption>Devon Conway</figcaption></figure>



This name needs no introduction. Devon Conway has laid down a smooth path for himself wherever he goes. The New Zealand cricketer, though, does not have a rich international cricket experience, but in whatever time he has had, he has made it count for his portfolio.



Conway recently debuted in test cricket and amassed a 200 in the opening game at the Home of Cricket, Lords. He was brilliant all throughout the test series as well as against India in the WTC finals.



Moreover, the cricketer has featured in 14 T20I matches and has amassed 473 runs at a blistering strike rate of 151 and with a superb average of 59.12.&nbsp;



Devon Conway can add great value to the IPL team that is suffering from the issue of openers.&nbsp;



<h3>Lendl Simmons:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/07/Evin-Lewis-and-Lendl-Simmons.jpg" alt="Lendl Simmons" class="wp-image-65777"/><figcaption>Lendl Simmons</figcaption></figure>



The Caribbean cricketer Lendl Simmons also comes on the list. Simmons was in good touch in the recent T20I series against Australia and scored runs in bulk. He was a standout performer for the team and helped his side thrash Australia brutally in the five matches series.



The cricketer has also a wealthy T20I experience under his hat. He has plundered 1508 T20I runs in 66 matches at a strike rate of 123.&nbsp;



Moreover, the cricketer was quite active in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well. He has featured in 29 IPL matches for Mumbai Indians (MI) and has amassed 1079 runs at an average of 39.96 and strikes at 126. He also has a century and 11 half-centuries in his name in the lucrative league.

Vivo IPL 2021: 3 overseas Batsmen who can come as a replacement in the Vivo IPL 2021

Shane Warne picks his favourite top 5 Test Cricketers in the World in 2021-22.



Former Australia legendary leg-spinner Shane Warne has picked his top five best Test cricketers at the moment in the World. Warne during his recent conversation in Fox Cricket named his top five Test cricketers in 2021-22.



Shane Warne is one of the greats of Test cricket who has embraced the oldest format of cricket from close. He featured between 1992 and 2007 during which he uprooted a massive 708 test wickets in 145 matches. He still ranks second in the list of players with the most test wickets. Sri Lankan Muttiah Muralitharan is the leader of the chart.



With T20 cricket getting all the charm and limelight, the quality of test cricket has taken a dip in recent times. The cricketers, nowadays, emphasise more on hard-hitting rather than having a sound technique to face the red cherry in distinct conditions.



Warne named his fellow countrymen Steven Smith as the top test batsman at present in his list. Smith has been a phenomenal force in the test format. He has scored 7552 test runs in 78 matches at an impressive average of 61.39. Moreover, he is the fastest batsman to score 7000 test runs.



?I have got Steve Smith (at the top). I think, over all conditions, against all bowlers, he has been brilliant,? Warne said in a video posted by Fox Cricket.&nbsp;



The Aussie leggie further named Joe Root as the second-best player in the test format. Root, in the year 2021, has been nothing short of brilliant. Having slammed as many as six test centuries, Root has dominated the opposition comprehensively when he gets on song.&nbsp;



He scored three hundred during recent India?s visit to England for five test matches. He also hammered double tons against India and Sri Lanka.

<h2>Kane Williamson, Virat Kohli at 3 and 4:</h2>



Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson ranked third in Warne?s elite list of test players. Williamson is fabulous in the red-ball format. Arguably, Kane is one of the finest test skippers cricket has ever produced.&nbsp;



He recently took his national side to the ICC World Test Championship win against India in England.&nbsp;



?Kane Williamson is always there in the list. Virat Kohli just dropped off a little bit and there is Marnus Labuschagne who rounds up the top five for me,? added Shane Warne.



Indian red-ball skipper Virat Kohli comes fourth in the list. Warne reckons that the recent failure of Virat Kohli to produce big scores in the test format has been a concern for him.&nbsp;



Another Aussie that has featured in the elite list is Marnus Labuschagne. The South African origin Aussie cricketer has been a boon for the Australians. He loves to hang over at the middle for a long time and score big runs. He has scored nearly 2000 test runs in just 19 matches.

Test Cricket is the flavor of the season and so test batters. Each team is playing test cricket currently. We have England going up against India and New Zealand, Bangladesh taking on the West Indies, and Australia locking horns with Sri Lanka. So, who are the top 10 batters in the red-ball format currently? Who are the players that can flip the game with the willow in hand? Here is an in-depth look at the same:?



**The rating done is on current form and not on records**?



<h2>10) Steve Smith is one of the top test batters:&nbsp;</h2>



Steve Smith and his dominance have been the talk of the town since the 2014 India Tour of Australia. Smith is a batter who has a class of his own. Off-late his performances have not been so great hence he has been placed lower on this list. The on-field antiques of Steve Smith are something that every cricket fan is aware of. He makes the boring red-ball game interesting. ?



<h2>9) KL Rahul is one of the Top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/KL-Rahul-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul test Batters" class="wp-image-91371" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: NDTV Sports</figcaption></figure>



KL Rahul is the top test batter from India. Rahul alongside Rohit Sharma was unbeatable in the England Tour last year. His absence will be very crucial in the one-off test against England. Rahul has been dealing with injuries and has taken time off the game but when he will be back, he will be drafted directly to the main team. Rahul made a comeback to the opening spot in 2021 and ever since has made it his own. ?



<h2>8) Travis Head:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Travis-Head-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Travis Head Test Batters" class="wp-image-91375" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Australian Cricket</figcaption></figure>



Travis Head is a style statement! Imagine having one of the best mustaches in world cricket and beating the hell out of the bowlers. He is one of the top middle-order batters in the game at the moment. He has risen through the ranks, slowly and steadily. Head was always a part of the Australian white ball circuit as a player who has potential, but in Ashes 2021 he turned potential into performance. His 2 hundred in the series came at a strike rate of almost 100!?



<h2>7) Usman Khawaja is one of the Top test Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



From one Australian to another. Usman Khawaja and his performance in the 3rd Ashes test have got him this spot. After being sacked and then called back only to be given an opportunity in the middle order, Usman Khawaja has a story of his own. He made a dream comeback to the national team. Khawaja being left-handed gives the added dimension to the Kangaroos. His game against Jack Leach was too good. ?



<h2>6) Jonny Bairstow:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Jonny-Bairstow-min.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91374" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: ICC</figcaption></figure>



Jonny Bairstow is one of the most improved commodities in red-ball cricket. From his hundred in the Ashes, he has become a different player. Bairstow had a terrible 2021 test season. He was a walking wicket for the Indian team and Axar Patel was the one bullying him on the pitch. But Jonny has effectively altered his game. He believes in attacking and he has switched to the same. Bairstow was the hero for the English team in the series against New Zealand. He is also one of the faces of revolution in England white-ball cricket. ?



<h2>5) Daryl Mitchell is one of the Top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Daryl-Mitchell-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-91376" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Sportster</figcaption></figure>



Daryl Mitchell is criminally underrated. He used his county experience to dominate the English bowlers in the England VS New Zealand series. The other Kiwi batters were struggling to deal with the swing of Broad and Potts while Daryl Mitchell was ripping them apart. He alongside Tom Blundell rescued the Black Caps from every difficult situation. Mitchell was a part of the county circuit since 2017 and he has invaluable experience of playing in English conditions. ?



<h2>4) Rishabh Pant:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Rishabh-Pant-min-1.jpg" alt="Rishabh Pant Test Batters" class="wp-image-91372" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



Rishabh Rajendra Pant is an entertainer in the red-ball format. When everyone expects Rishabh to play safe, Rishabh goes big! When everyone expects Rishabh to go big, he goes big! He plays the game, the way he loves it. This makes the game entertaining. On pitches where the team is struggling to hold the fort, Rishabh uses the ?Attack is the best defense? strategy. His hundreds in Australia, England, and South Africa, and 10+ scores of 90, give a view of his potential. ?



<h2>3) Babar Azam is one of the Top Test Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



Coming to the fab 5 now. Virat and Kane Williamson are not in the best of forms and hence are not included in the list. Babr Azam however is the reliable rock for the Men in Green! Azam bullies the bowlers! When Australia visited Pakistan for the first time in 23 years, Babar Azam was the top batter for the Pakistanis. The tracks in Pakistan are flat but the batter does require skill to make effective use of the ideal conditions. ?



<h2>2) Marnus Labuschagne:&nbsp;</h2>



The first-ever concussion substitution in world cricket is a boon to the game. Marnus Labuschagne and his test debut are like a movie. Imagine being hit on the helmet on the first ball of your career, only to stand up and look back into the bowler's eye. Labuschagne is a player of class and strong character. He has his unique style of play. He likes howling while on the pitch but he is very focused. His cover drives are elite. He is a very reliable number 3 batter. ?



<h2>1) Joe Root is one of the top Test Batters:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/06/Joe-Root-min-1.jpg" alt="Joe Root Test Batters" class="wp-image-91373" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: England Cricket</figcaption></figure>



If there is one batter which is the daddy of the Australian and Indian teams, it is Joe Root. My man has been on a roll since the 2020 Sri Lanka series. He dominated Sri Lankan spinners, then dominated here in India, when India went to England, he slammed 3 hundred in 4 games. He was batting on a different parallel. Joe Root also played a crucial role in winning the third test against New Zealand. ?

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC World Cup 2023: Marnus Labuschagne to replace this player in Australian squad for World Cup</h2>

Australia Cricket team announced their provisional squad for the ICC World Cup 2023 recently and Marnus Labuschagne was the unlucky one who missed out from the squad. However, after that, he has batted superbly well and has been the best batter from the team.&nbsp;



Marnus Labuschagne's performing staggering well in the South Africa series as well as the India series has given a headache to the Australian management. However, recent reports in code sports have suggested that the batter is in contention to join the team.&nbsp;



There were a lot of speculations that Marnus Labuschagne would replace the injured Travis Head in the team. But this isn?t the case as recent reports have suggested he will be getting added to the team in place of Ashton Agar and Head will retain his place in the team.&nbsp;
