The World Number 1 Test batter Marnus Labuschagne has expressed his excitement to face seasoned off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Test series starting next month in Nagpur.
Labuschangne called battle with Ravichandran AshwIn “game of chess”. The four-match series, which starts on February 9 in Nagpur, will also mark Labuschagne’s first Test tour of India, a country where he made his ODI debut in early 2020, and his duel against Ashwin will again be a huge talking point.
Battle with Ashwin is ‘game of chess’
“Since then (the last series) I’ve already started thinking. I’ve changed some of my game because of what I’ve heard about Ashwin and how he bowled to me. I’ve adapted my game to try and foil a few of his ideas and ways he goes about it, so it’s going to be a lovely game of chess and I can’t wait for it,” Labuschagne was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo.

“People think, right now it’s Big Bash then you start thinking, but the thinking happens way ahead. You start processing everything in your mind, you go through every scenario of what bowler you are going to come across. I’ve already thought about my plans so now it’s just about executing piecing the puzzle together and making sure the puzzle is ready when it’s game time. That’s the key, and that’s how all preparation happens,” he added.
