After entertaining one and all with his marathon triple century against Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval, Australia opener David Warner won the heart of his fans by gifting a helmet and set of gloves.

Warner, who had scored 154 in the first Test, followed that up with a masterful 335 not out in the second game.

With this marathon knock, the southpaw broke quite a few records. He went past the tally of Don Bradman and Mark Taylor’s 334 to become the second-highest scorer for Australia in a Test innings after Matthew Hayden (380). The left-hander also beat Don Bradman’s record of 299 set against South Africa in 1931-32 for the highest Test score at the Adelaide Oval.

Warner looked set to break the highest-ever individual Test score of 400 by Brian Lara but Australia skipper Tim Paine declared the first innings at 589/3.

As he walked to the dressing room amid a standing ovation from the crowd, Warner gave away his helmet and gloves to his young fans, who were seen fighting to get hold of the gears.
