Speaking of the incident, Mohammed Siraj came to bowl that over while David Warner was batting. Khawaja was on the non-striker end. After two balls, Labuschagne was seen with his eyes closed, reclined on a chair in the rooms. But, on the next delivery, Warner edged the ball and KS Bharat did not make any mistake as Australia lost their first wicket. Hence, the crowd erupted and Labuschagne was seen waking up suddenly from his post-lunch nap. Speaking of him, he is the current number-one-ranked batter in the longest format of the game.
