It's Going To Be A Lovely Game Of Chess: Labuschagne On Facing Ashwin In Next Month's Test Series

By IANS News January 13, 2023 • 13:36 PM View: 775

Australia's top-order Test batter Marnus Labuschagne is excited by the prospect of facing premier India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, a battle which he calls "game of chess" during the four-match Test series starting next month in Nagpur.

During the epic 2020-21 series in Australia which India famously won 2-1 at the Gabba, the battle between Ashwin and Labuschagne was one of the huge talking points in the build-up to the series. In Australia, Ashwin removed Labuschagne twice in six innings before the former missed the Test at the Gabba.
