Send Push
David Warner , part of the Karachi Kings squad in the Pakistan Super League, gave a youngster cold treatment as he walked up the legendary batter for a handshake.


In the incident caught on video, the young fan approached Warner for a handshake. After a little reluctance, Warner urged the fan to go for a fist bump instead. However, the former Aussie batter maintained a straight face during the exchange before the toss.

The incident seemingly happened before the match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi on Monday (April 21). In the match, Kings won by 2 wickets with 3 balls remaining.





Warner played a crucial role in his team's win, scoring a 47-ball 60, his first half century in the PSL . Kings chased down the 148-run target in the knick of time with Khushdil Shah starring with the bat (23*) and ball (3/20).


Babar Azam top scored for the Peshawar Zalmi earlier in the contest, scoring 46 from 41 balls.


Warner's knock took him to 13,000 runs in T20 cricket. He became the sixth player and first Australian to reach the milestone.


Only Chris Gayle, Alex Hales, Shoaib Malik, Kieron Pollard and Virat Kohli have more T20 runs than the Aussie. Warner is one of three Australians to score 10,000-plus T20 runs, alongside Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell.


Warner has played for 14 T20 teams in different leagues, with his most successful stint coming for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL). For them, he scored 4,014 runs at 49.56 and a strike rate of 142.6. He also led them to IPL 2016 title.
