The veteran Australian opener, David Warner shed light on the obsessive habits of the former skipper, Steve Smith. Last week, Smith’s wife Dani Willis posted a photo on Instagram, in which her husband can be seen testing the weight of his bats while blindfolded. Warner revealed another superstition of Smith involving his thigh pad.

In an interview with Fitzy & Wippa, Warner said: “A little insight to Steve Smith when you’re in a hotel room. If he’s above you, you ain’t sleeping. All you hear is the tapping all the time. You think it’s the cleaners coming in at midnight. You’re like, ‘Nah, that’s just Steve testing his bats.”

He further added, “He likes to feel the weight, but he likes to close his eyes, and yeah, that’s how he does it. It’s just so common, Steve, that he put his whites on to actually work out if his thigh pad was going to fit in his pants. I’m worried about my box, not my thigh pad.”

The former Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper also opened up about the intense experience during the Indian Premier League (IPL).

David Warner elaborated, “I think it really hit home when everyone saw that piece on the TV about what was happening in India with the oxygen. You know, people on the streets lining up to cremate their family members, and we did see that a couple of times going to and from the grounds.

He also added saying, “Open fields and stuff. You know, it was terrifying. And it was just really upsetting from a humanitarian point of view.”
