[Watch] Nitish Kumar Reddy gets Marnus Labuschagne nicking off to Virat Kohli in BGT 2024-25 3rd Test

Nitish Kumar Reddy took the prized scalp of Marnus Labuschagne on Day 2 (Sunday, December 15) of the third Test between India and Australia in Brisbane. Labuschagne was caught in the slip cordon, departing for 12 runs off 55 balls as India reduced the Aussies to 75/3.

The dismissal came in the 34th over of Australia's first innings. Reddy bowled a full-length ball way outside off and Labuschagne went for a drive. The ball took an edge before flying to Virat Kohli in the second slip. Kohli took a sharp catch at shoulder height.

Sharing the clip, Star Sports captioned the X post:

"India's man with the golden arm!"

Watch the video below:

The dismissal came soon after Mohammed Siraj switched the bails and Labuschagne put it back in place.

Marnus Labuschagne has returned with 2, 3, 64, and 12 (today) in the series. Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar Reddy bagged his third wicket of the series.

“Just concentrate on batting” – David Warner on Marnus Labuschagne

Former Australia batter David Warner has suggested Marnus Labuschagne should focus on batting and not on 'outside noise' after the latter gave him a fiery response for failing to score big in Adelaide. Warner told West Australian (via Footboom 1):

"For Marnus, just concentrate on batting. We know he loves eating cricket ball sandwiches. I want to pencil him in for a big hundred. We love him, but don't worry about the noise, what we're saying."

Warner continued:

“We want to see Marnus score, we want to see a big hundred. It's his home venue. He knows this ground better than anyone else. It's more when he gets to 50, he wants to play that shot to the gully region. I don't think it's a shot for him to want to play when he's 50. You want to try and get on with it, but I sort of feel when he is dabbing outside off stump, that is not when he is at his best. He is still poking,” he added.
