Marnus Labuschagne has been in superb form of late. He consistently scored runs during the Ashes 2021-22. Besides, he is currently the number one ranked Test batter in the world. Even during the first Test against Pakistan in Rawalpindi, he scored a brilliant 90 and was unlucky to miss out on a hundred. As the first Test turned out to be a draw, the fans were hopeful of the second Test being a thrilling game. There were lot of expectations from Labuschagne going into the second Test. However, unfortunately for Labuschagne, he had to walk back to the pavilion for a duck in the first innings in Karachi.
After facing just nine balls, the Queensland batter was run-out without scoring a run. During the last ball of the 20th over, Labuschagne hit the ball towards mid-off, but the ball didn't go too wide of the fielder. Sajid Khan quickly got to the ball and a brilliant throw at the stumps ensured that Australia's number three batter was dismissed without opening his account.
As a matter of fact, Labuschagne himself looked quite dejected and was reluctantly leaving the field. Several users were shocked at the sight of the world-class batter being dismissed for a duck. This was just the second instance of him getting dismissed for zero in his Test career.
Post his dismissal, many Pakistan fans trolled him for getting run-out. They jokingly linked his dismissal to the lunch he ate the previous day. Notably, Labuschagne had posted an image of "Daal Roti" and revealed that the meal is his favourite.
The visitors are 100-2 at lunch on the first day of the second Test. Usman Khawaja scored his second fifty of the series. The two batters to be dismissed are David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne.

No. 1 test batter in ICC rankings, Marnus Labuschagne, gone for a duck while trying to steal a single. That Daal-Roti didn't work out well for him.

This is just the 2nd time he's gone for a duck. 1st duck was also against PAK and that too on his debut inning in 2018#PAKvAUS
The actual ‘NO RUN’
