He is doing it in every form of the game and scoring a lot of runs. Ultimately that is what the game is about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the scary thing was the future. \u201cThe best way to learn how to make runs is to make runs, not by hitting some big sixes,\u201d Langer said. \u201cThe scary thing going forward, if the expressions on the faces of Starc and Nortje and every bowler tell a story now, what about when he learns how to bat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on May 20, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/ipl\/vaibhav-sooryavanshi-batting-rajasthan-royals-vs-lsg-justin-langer-reaction-news-ipl-2026\/article71002249.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Langer has been around the 22 yards for a while.
