AUS vs OMA | Twitter in awe as Warner acknowledges Finch’s claps with wholesome wave after making history

Some partnerships extend way beyond the cricket field and David Warner has had several such mates sharing the pitch with him throughout his illustrious career. The veteran had long-time opening partner Aaron Finch in attendance while surpassing him as Australia’s highest T20I run-getter in Barbados.

Australia headed into their World T20 opener as firm favourites against Oman at Bridgetown but were handed a reality check as soon as the game began with some quality bowling from the Asian contingent up-front. An exhibition of disciplined bowling meant the men from Down Under were reduced to 56/3 at the halfway mark after being asked to bat first with the usually explosive David Warner having to contend with anchoring the innings at less than run-a-ball. However, it wasn’t all sour for the 37-year-old he became the highest-ever run-getter for Australia in T20 internationals during the knock and celebrated the achievement fittingly with a wholesome exchange involving Aaron Finch.

The former Australian skipper was seated in the press enclave as a part of the commentary team when Warner cut the ball in the eighth over to register his 3,021st T20I run, bettering Finch’s record in his 104th outing. The cameras immediately panned to the retired Aussie who gracefully raised his eyebrows and directed some claps at his former teammate with whom he shared opening duties for over half a decade. To his good fortune, Warner caught the moment in real time and a huge grin immediately lit up his face. The southpaw coyly waved at Finch before getting ready to resume business.

Twitterati were awed by the charming interaction between the duo and quickly flooded social media with their reactions.
