David Warner’s return to the Australian Test side has been expedited because of the frailties observed in their top order during the first couple of Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
While speaking on the Sony Sports Network, Zaheer Khan and Mohammad Kaif shared their thoughts on David Warner’s cheap dismissal in the first innings of the Sydney Test.
The former pointed out it was clearly evident that the swashbuckling opener had not regained his full fitness.
Zaheer highlighted that Warner was looking to take the attack to the Indian bowlers and felt the visitors were fortunate he didn’t stay at the crease for a longer period.
David Warner was certainly hobbling while running between the wickets. It clearly showed the Australians were desperate to have him back in the playing XI, despite Warner not regaining his full fitness.
David Warner played a bad shot: Mohammad Kaif
Mohammad Kaif observed David Warner was always going to bat aggressively, something the stockily-built opener himself had suggested before the match.
Kaif signed off by saying that Warner had played a shot unbecoming of an opener as he wafted at a wide delivery without even getting his eye in.
David Warner was caught by Cheteshwar Pujara at first slip off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj. The southpaw scored just 5 runs off the eight deliveries he faced and seemed to have been bothered by his injury.
