Watch: David Warner gives away his batting gloves to fans while heading back to pavilion
Australia’s opening batter David Warner has hit his first ODI century after 1043 days. In the ongoing third ODI against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the left-hander hit his 19th century. He got out after scoring 106 runs. Meanwhile, after his dismissal, Warner was heading back to the pavilion and gave away a pair of his batting gloves.
A kid caught the gloves and tan toward his sibling and his mother. Hilariously enough, the mother of those kids smelled the gloves. The video of the entire incident is going viral on social media. The way Warner gave away his gloves and didn’t look back made it look like it was just another day for him.

I was playing second fiddle to Travis Head: David Warner
Talking about David’s century, he said that he was playing second fiddle to his opening partner, Travis Head who scored 152. In the mid-innings, the two-time World Cup winner added that he was looking to rotate the strike and explained the pitch’s behavior. The 35-year-old was also asked whether he is playing his last ODI at home.
To which, he said that he might be back in 2024 and it is too early to say.
“I was just playing second fiddle to Trav. I was just trying to rotate strike as much as I could. When they pitched it full it was actually quite hard, but there were a lot of cross-bat shots with the shorter lengths. [Is this his last ODI on home soil?] A lot of us were talking about this at the SCG. Another 14 Test matches, I think, before we play another white-ball game in Australia. You never know, I might be back in 2024.”
Talking about the game, the Aussies have amassed 355/5 in the 48-over game. England needs to chase down 364 runs due to DLS method applied in the game. At the time of writing, the Three Lions have scored 14 runs in 2.2 overs.
