Australia opener David Warner and Afghanistan spinner Rashid Khan shared a heated exchange on the field during the ongoing World Cup match between the two teams at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. The incident happened ahead of the start of the 5th over, with Warner and Khan engaged in a conversation. Warner was seen gesticulating wildly and saying something harsh to Khan, who remained calm and collected. The leg-spinner left the conversation with a smile on his face.

It is unclear what sparked the exchange, but it is likely that it was related to Warner’s dismissal shortly after. The opener was dismissed for 18 off 29 balls, with Azmatullah Omarzai castling him. Warner’s dismissal was part of a collapse that saw Australia lose seven wickets for 91 runs. However, Glenn Maxwell came to the rescue with a magnificent century, helping Australia to recover and eventually win the match.

Rashid Khan also had a good game, finishing with three wickets for 33 runs. He troubled the Australian batsmen throughout his spell, and was particularly effective against Marcus Stoinis and Mitchell Starc. The incident between Warner and Khan is a reminder of the intensity and rivalry that exists between the two teams. It is also a testament to the passion and competitiveness of both players.
