Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa disagreed with Gautam Gambhir's opinion on David Warner smashing Mohammad Hafeez for a six off a ball that bounced twice during the T20 World Cup semi-final match. Warner had hit Hafeez for a six after the ball slipped out of the Pakistan spinner's hands and reached the batter after two bounces.

Gambhir had questioned Warner's sportsmanship for going after the delivery and he also targetted former Australia cricketer Shane Warne, who had called R Ashwin's altercation with Eoin Morgan disgraceful during the IPL.

"What an absolutely pathetic display of spirit of the game by Warner! #Shameful What say @ashwinravi99?," Gambhir tweeted after the semi-final match.

Reacting to the former Indian cricketer's words, Zampa, on a ABC Grandstand podcast, said, "It's an interesting take from Gautam Gambhir. It's a pretty big effort from David Warner and I think he had every right to."

When asked if it has happened to him, the Aussie replied, "It has never happened to me and I hope it never does." 

Zampa also said that he has no issues over non-strike and joked, "Mankad's an interesting one. I haven't done it but I won't say I won't either. Watch out if you are on the non-striker's end."
