A famous quote from Mike Tyson goes something like this: "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth".
A video of Australian batter Marnus Labuschagne, who was caught peacefully sleeping in the dressing room having padded up, has gone viral on the Internet. A video tweeted on the ICC page shows Labuschagne padded up and stretched out on a dressing room chair.

Australia are in control of the proceedings against India in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval. At stumps on Day 2, Australia were 123/4 and leading India by 296 runs. After posting a total of 469 in the first innings, the Pat Cummis-led side restricted India to a below-par total of 296. While the Indian team did put up a fightback on Day 3, the ball remains in Australia's court with two full days of cricket to be played. Despite their team being on the backfoot for the majority of the match, the fans of the Team India have come in huge numbers to support them.
Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Friday created history, as he surpassed compatriot Bishan Singh Bedi to become the country's most successful left-arm spinner in the history of Test cricket. Jadeja accomplished this during India's ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval. In Australia's second innings, Jadeja put to an end innings of two centurions from the first innings, Steve Smith (34) and Travis Head (18). Jadeja ended the day with figures of 2/25 in nine overs.
Marnus Labuschagne became the subject of several jokes and memes after a hilarious incident involving the Australia batter during Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final against India at The Oval on Friday. Labuschagne was resting on a chair inside the Australia dressing room at the start of their second innings and the camera showed that he fell asleep after some time. However, his sleep was disturbed by David Warner's dismissal and because he was the next batter, he quickly got ready and rushed to the field. The incident went viral on social media and resulted in a number of hilarious memes with many social media users coming up with some interesting comments.
