Indian off-spinner R Ashwin has given his take on David Warner smashing a double-bounced delivery from Mohammad Hafeez for a six during Australia's T20 World Cup semi-final clash against Pakistan on November 11.
The incident happened in the eighth over of the innings, the ball slipped out awkwardly from Hafeez's hand. The ball bounced twice before Warner dispatched it into the stands over deep mid-wicket. The umpire signaled no-ball because the ball had bounced twice before signaling a six.
Former India opener Gautam Gambhir reacted to this on Twitter slamming the whole thing by the Australian opener and calling it a pathetic display of the spirit of the game by him.
“What an absolutely pathetic display of spirit of the game by Warner! #Shameful What say @ashwinravi99?” Gambhir tweeted.
To this, Australian journalist Peter Lalor reacted by calling it a bad take. Meanwhile, Ashwin who was tagged in the tweet by Gambhir, responded, “His point is that if this is right , that was right. If that was wrong , this is wrong too. Fair assessment? @plalor”
Furthermore, a Twitter user pointed out that Warner played the ball in front of him and there was nothing wrong in it. To which Ashwin tweeted, “Absolutely it was a wonderful hit by @davidwarner31 ????????. Great shot”
