The video footage of the ugly spat between Australia opener David Warner and South Africa wicketkeeper Quinton de Kock took the internet world by storm on Monday (March 5).
The CCTV video shows a fired-up Warner directing a verbal barrage at de Kock when the teams walked upstairs to the change rooms during the tea break on the fourth day of the first Test at Kingsmead, Durban. The leaked video also shows Warner being held back by his teammates.
Amidst the nasty alteration, Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis was seen coming out from the dressing room area donning just a towel around his waist to calm the situation. Just a moment after Du Plessis’ entry, Warner was safely taken back to the change room by Aussie skipper Steve Smith and a few other players.
Seeing Faf’s cool and composed demeanour during that heated moment, his wife Imari du Plessis took to micro-blogging site Twitter to react on a user’s comment.

Mrs. Du Plessis didn’t stop there as she went on to respond with another hilarious remark in a different tweet.
“See the video – my response – why are you half naked???????♀️ Eye for detail”, Imari Du Plessis wrote replying to another user’s comment.
