Adelaide: Australian batsman, David Warner not only made his mark in the cricket field on Thursday but also won millions of hearts as his heart-warming gesture towards an young fan proved that the Aussie superstar is more than just a professional cricketer.
Warner struck an important 95 to take the home side to 221/2 on Day 1 of the 2nd Test at the Adelaide Oval. After getting out to Ben Stokes, on the way back to the pavilion, the former Sunrisers Hyderabad batter gifted his playing gloves to an young fan. The young boy was elated after getting the gloves from the left-handed batsman.

Warner and Labuschagne fought hard and went past tricky situations as to make sure that Australia are in a strong position at the end of day one. Warner reached his 32nd Test fifty as he struck 11 boundaries in the build-up to his innings.
That’s stumps!
Tough day for England, with fifties from Warner and Labuschagne putting Australia in a good position 👏
