India and Australia are locking horns in the ongoing World Test Championship 2023 final at The Oval in London. Australia are looking for a commanding position in the match as they are currently leading by 296 runs with 123 runs for the loss of four wickets in the second innings of the game.
Meanwhile, an incident on the third day of the match attracted the headlines among cricket fans on social media. It happened just at the beginning of Australia’s second innings when David Warner and Usman Khawaja came to open the batting for Australia. It was also the moment when the number three batter for Australia, Marnus Labuschagne was having a short and power nap in the dressing room.
But just in the fourth over of the second innings, the star Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj happened to trap Warner on the third ball and get him caught in the slips. Warner got dismissed only on the individual score of 1 run and the team had only a score of 2 runs. This unexpected dismissal of Warner gatecrashed the nap of Labuschagne and he stood up immediately opening his eyes with a shocking reaction.
Subsequently, when the video of this fantastic incident went viral on social media, Labuschagne also talked about the same and explained his point regarding that incident.
Here's what Marnus Labuschagne said about his nap
"I was just resting my eyes between balls and just relaxing, you can't watch the game all the time. I didn't have too many rests there when Siraj banged that first one in,” said Labuschagne to SEN.
But a section of cricket fans took it as an opportunity to come up with some hilarious reactions on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Some of the fans also happened to take some hilarious digs at Labuschagne and reacted amazingly to this incident.
Here’s how fans reacted to the statement of Marnus Labuschagne:
