Although it has been hours since Pakistan vs Australia, the second semifinal clash of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 curled up, but David Warner is the frenzied debate yet.
After he hit a double-bounced, mistakenly slipped ball by Mohammad Hafeez, for a six, he has been under hot waters for the ‘unethical’ act. People understand the action goes against sportsmanship.
Not only the fans, but the cricket analysts term it wrong and call it pathetic. However, the Australian cricket coach, Justin Langer is proud of his boy, calling the shot as unbelievable.
Was David Warner right to hit Mohammad Hafeez for a six on a double-bounced ball?
The former Indian cricketers also have raised their voices against Warner’s hit. Aakash Chopra, who has got a mouth full of praises for him, has also criticized the act. Gautam Gambhir, the former Indian cricketer, says it was pathetic from him. He added,
“Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne talk a lot about Sportsmanship, let’s see what they’ve to say about David Warner Six. Ball slipped from Hafeez‘s hand Warner shouldn’t have done that, he stole 6 runs, I want to see if they tweet about it”
The plot has two faces. Where a large group of people stands against the act, so many support the idea and call it entirely the batsman’s choice.
Notably, if Warner has not taken action against the ball, it could have been termed as dead but as he chose to play, it was named a no-ball, going for a six, granting seven runs to Australia.
Here are the reactions:
Warner should not have played that ball that fumbled out of Hafeez’s hand. This was a redemption.

This was indeed hilarious and mean from the ruthless #Warner!
The age seems to be catching up to Professor #Hafeez!?
