England's veteran fast bowler Stuart Broad couldn't resist a playful dig at Australian opener David Warner during the thrilling Ashes encounter, mimicking a surfboard gesture that left fans in stitches.
The hilarious moment occurred when Broad, fresh from dismissing Warner, pretended to ride a surfboard while celebrating with teammates. This cheeky reference harks back to Warner's infamous 'homework-gate' scandal in 2013 when he was pictured surfing during Australia's tour of India after being dropped for disciplinary reasons.
A Rivalry Reignited
Broad's antics added another chapter to his long-standing duel with Warner, which has become one of cricket's most entertaining rivalries. The England seamer has now dismissed Warner 17 times in Test cricket, making him the Australian's nemesis.
Joe Root, England's former captain, was seen chuckling at Broad's celebration, showing the team's enjoyment of the psychological battle. The light-hearted moment provided some relief in what has been a fiercely contested Ashes series.
Fans React to Broad's Banter
Cricket enthusiasts took to social media to praise Broad's sense of humour, with many calling it 'classic Ashes banter'. The incident quickly went viral, becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the series.
While Warner maintained his composure on the field, cricket pundits noted that Broad's celebration was all in good fun, showcasing the competitive yet respectful nature of Test cricket's greatest rivalry.
