    Ready to open in Warner's absence: Marnus Labuschagne
  • Australian middle-order batsman Marnus Labuschagne has offered to open the innings in the absence of injured David Warner.

    The news comes after the star opener was ruled out of Australia's white-ball games.

    Warner suffered a groin strain in the second ODI against India, having limped off the field eventually.

    He will now undergo rehabilitation in order to be fit for the Test series.

  • Opportunity

    'Would love to grab the opportunity', says Labuschagne

  • Here is what Labuschagne said.

    "Certainly if I got asked to open the batting, it's an opportunity that I would enjoy doing. We'll see how our team shapes up for the next game and see the balance of the side, but I would love doing it," he stated.

    "My role at number 4 is just to read the situation and play my role accordingly."

  • Success

  • Labuschagne had his first taste of success in the 2019 Ashes.

    He became the first-ever concussion substitute in the history of international cricket after Steve Smith got injured during the Lord's Test.

    Standing against all odds, Labuschagne scored a 100-ball 59 before Australia salvaged a draw.

    This proved to be a career-defining knock for him.

    He ended the series with 353 runs at 50.43.

  • Data

    Only batsman with over 1,000 Test runs in 2019

  • He was the highest run-scorer in Test cricket last year and the only batsman to have touched the 1000-run mark. He aggregated 1,104 runs from 11 Tests at 64.94. Interestingly, his present average of 63.43 is the second-best in Tests after Sir Don Bradman (99.94).

  • ODIs

  • Besides stamping his authority in Test cricket, Labuschagne has also looked tailor-made for the 50-over format.

    So far, he has amassed 466 runs from 12 ODIs, including a ton and three fifties.

    He even looked in supreme touch during the second ODI against India, having played a 70-run knock.

    It will be interesting to see if he gets promoted up the order.

  • Partnership

  • Labuschagne played his bit as Smith anchored the Australian innings to bring up yet another ton.

    Speaking on the same, Labuschagne said, "We had Steve in so when I came to the crease it was just about building a partnership and a bit of momentum with him, and taking a back seat. When he was dismissed, me and Maxy played a bit more expansively."
