WATCH: Marnus Labuschagne sustains a severe blow on his unmentionables in T20 Blast

Marnus Labuschagne was hit on the unmentionables off Paul Walter’s bowling during the South Group game between Glamorgan and Essex in the T20 Blast 2024. Labuschagne was down immediately after the blow and was in obvious serious pain due to the area of this blow.

The bowler bowled a length delivery on the stumps, and Labuschagne went to work it on the on-side, but the bounce was slightly low on the ball. It went on to hit it straight to the batter, who immediately removed his gloves and checked it.

He was treated for at least five minutes to get some relief from the pain and get back on his feet. Labuschagne also had to change his box since the older one sustained a serious whack and was not reusable.

The bowler and the umpire also went to check on him since Labuschagne was down badly. It’s never easy to bear that pain, especially when a pacer’s delivery hits; eventually, Labuschagne was fine to continue after some time.
