AUS vs ENG: David Warner and young fan's interaction steals the show

Meanwhile, a kid at the Adelaide Oval Stadium grabbed the spotlight after he asked Australian opener, David Warner, for his t-shirt. The young fan was seen holding a poster, requesting Warner for his t-shirt. His message was shown on the big screen following which Warner replied with a poster of his own. "David Warner, can I have your shirt?" the kid's poster read. Warner responded with another poster that read, "Get one off Marnus."

The heartwarming conversation between the kid and Warner was captured by the broadcaster who relayed it on the big screen. Marnus Labuschagne was sitting next to Warner in the dressing room and was seen gesturing to his teammate to sign the shirt and give it to the fan. Warner then signaled to the kid to come and meet him after the match. The video has been shared by Cricket Australia on its official Twitter handle.
