Australia’s Test opener David Warner made the same mistake of running the pitch against New Zealand in Sydney Test just like Ravindra Jadeja did back in 2016. The Pakistan umpire Aleem Dar gave a warning to David Warner and his batting partner Marnus Labuschagne to be cautious of running on to the pitch.

However, when Warner and Labuschagne made the same mistake twice, Aleem Dar didn’t shy away from awarding five penalty runs to the Kiwis. Australia went on to win the series by a mammoth margin of 279 runs and sealed the series by 3-0.
