Why Marnus Labuschagne be key Batter for Australia in this BGT?
Marnus Labuschagne is one of the best batters in the Test cricket in present, he played many great knocks in Test career but in recent times his form got dipped in Test cricket that saw his average goes down under 50 in Test cricket. Marnus Labuschagne played his Debut Test match against Pakistan in 2018 and he got few chances but he failed to grab those changes and he got dropped from squad. In 2019 , he got a chance to bat as a concussion substitute in the place of Steven Smith and after that he showed his true potential in next 2-3 years. He scored lot of runs in Australia against every team but whenever he was scoring runs there was a big question on him and that question was "will he perform in other countries also? " and that was a valuable question because in Australia pitches are good for batting and Marnus scored big runs on these pitches but when he first time he played a Test series outside Australia he started to failing to score those big runs because conditions were very different in those countries from Australia. Marnus Labuschagne will playing his 4th BGT and he is very eager to perform for Australia once again, he is on that stage of career where one bad series will out him from Australian Test team but good thing for Marnus Labuschagne is , in Indian sports media 75-80% journalists are not talking about his name everyone is talking about Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, Nathan McSweeny, Nathan Lyon and other Australian players but Indian fans and media needs to remember in ICC Men's odi world cup final Marnus Labuschagne played that knock which gave that chance to Travis Head to play big shots against Indian bowlers in that match and Head scored a brilliant century and Australia won that world cup and every Indian media gave credit to Head but no one remembered that knock of Marnus Labuschagne. BGT starts from tomorrow in Perth(Optus) Stadium where Marnus Labuschagne always performed and scored big runs and he will eager to score another big century because he knows if Australia wants to reclaim that BGT trophy then he will be the key batter for Australian team in this series.
