AUS vs AFG: Ajay Jadeja Mocks Marnus Labuschagne by Dancing Amid Complaint of Movement in Dressing Room | WATCH

Afghanistan mentor Ajay Jadeja mocked Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne by breaking into an impromptu dance session after complaints from Labuschagne regarding the excessive movement in the Afghanistan dressing room. The incident happened during the fixture between the two sides at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday.

Jadeja hilariously burst into dance moves after Marnus complained that there was too much movement in the Afghanistan dressing room. The Australian batter was seen telling the umpire about the issue, and the former Indian batter decided to amuse fans by starting to dance to seemingly mock Marnus further.

The ex-Indian batter has been a key figure in Afghanistan’s successes in the World Cup so far, with his knowledge of Indian conditions helping the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side secure four wins prior to their fixture against Australia.

Jadeja also facilitated a meeting between the Afghanistan team and Sachin Tendulkar on the eve of the game at Wankhede.

Ibrahim Zadran also lauded Tendulkar after he became the first Afghanistan player to score a century in the World Cup, that too against Australia.

Riding on the century, the Afghans were able to record their highest-ever score in World Cup history, they reached 291/5 after Rashid Khan’s unbeaten 35-run knock in just 18 balls.

During the second innings, Australia found themselves in deep trouble after a top-order collapse. Labuschagne was seen complaining to the umpires about his vision being interrupted by constant movement in the Afghanistan dressing room.

Jadeja took notice of the same and responded in a hilarious fashion by breaking into impromptu dance moves.

Watch:

Australia found themselves at 69/5, facing the daunting task of chasing 292, but Glenn Maxwell slammed his third World Cup hundred in 76 balls to revive the Aussies, stitching together a century stand with his captain Pat Cummins.

A victory against Afghanistan would help the Aussies seal their place in the semifinals and land a massive blow to the Afghans’ chances of reaching the next round.
