Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023: The third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 began with a unique conversation between Indian captain Rohit Sharma and Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne, who is currently ranked as the world’s best Test batter.
Australia rebounded with a roar as they easily won the third Test by nine wickets to record their first victory of the four-match series after losing the first two Tests by significant margins. They totally outperformed India with both the bat and the ball to cut the deficit to 1-2.
After a stunning triumph, Labuschagne talked about a conversation he had with Rohit Sharma before the third Test started. When he indicated a desire to learn from Sharma how to play in Indian conditions—which were unfamiliar to Labuschagne and his teammates—he happened to be strolling alongside the Indian captain.
“While Rohit and I were out walking, I said. I told her, “I’m observing everything you do because I want to learn. The best people in these circumstances are you guys. These conditions are alien to us. You can learn from the opponents and how they approach a situation. With every game, we want to improve and learn,” Speaking to the Star Sports broadcasters, the 28-year-old remarked.
The right-handed batter claimed that he approached Rohit Sharma and directly questioned him about all the finer points and unique tactics the Indian squad used to make them virtually invincible against rank-turners. He believed that since these circumstances were so foreign to them, it was crucial to have an open dialogue with those who were flourishing in them. Learning from the opponent was beneficial because it is always the best method to improve one’s performance.
We spent time looking back and fixing our errors: Labuschagne
The Australian team used the lengthy pause following their first two defeats to reflect carefully and correct their faults, he continued to say. That greatly aided them in relaxing and playing the third Test with a lot of confidence, which helped them win it.
“We must keep picking up new skills and ensure that the first and second tests are not identical. We must never stop learning. Everyone simply went through their alternatives again, their strategies, and their plans,” While discussing the adjustments they made before the third Test, Labuschagne had a revelation.
