Australia’s star batter David Warner is all set to make his Test return in the World Test Championship Final against India at the Kensington Oval, starting on June 7. He missed the last two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India due to an elbow injury.
Ahead of the much-awaited World Test Championship Final, several of Warner’s teammates including captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, and Marnus Labuschagne, described the talismanic opener in a single word.
Australian Players Describe David Warner In One Word
In a video shared by the ICC, Marnus Labuschagne hailed Warner and said, “One of the favorite things he does is running between the wickets, I just love the intensity he brings to the crease.”
While Steve Smith called Warner ‘Tough‘ on the other hand, Michell Starc considers with “competitive”. Australian Captain Pat Cummins thinks that he has “High energy”.
Australian opener Usman Khawaja believes that fellow opener David Warner appears to be back to his best batting form at the nets ahead of the WTC Final against India.
“I have seen him (Warner) bat in the last couple of days and, I don’t want to jinx him, but he is looking good.This is probably the best I have seen him look in the nets for a while. That doesn’t always correlate to runs, but if we are any chance of Davey Warner scoring runs this could be it. He always plays his best when his back is against the wall too.”
