India’s cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar on Friday gave Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne a major compliment when he revealed that the batsman’s style of play reminded him of his own.

"His footwork was incredible, so he would be the one I would say," Tendulkar said when asked if any modern-day player reminds him of himself.

"I saw Marnus getting hit (on the helmet) off the second ball from Jofra Archer and post that, the 15 minutes he batted, I said 'this player looks special, there is something about him'."

"If you're not thinking positively in your mind, then your feet don't move. That clearly indicated to me that this guy is mentally strong because if you're not, your feet will not move."

Labuschagne emerged to become Test cricket's leading scorer last year with 1,104 runs, including 896 since November — beating the great Neil Harvey (834) for the most scored by an Australian in a five-Test summer.
