Expert opinion on David Warner’s Golden Duck
After Mayank Agarwal won the toss. Punjab chose to ball. On the first ball of the game, warner ended up giving a simple catch to the backward fielder for a golden duck. Experts believe It was Warner’s last-minute decision to take the strike on the first ball, is what actually backfired.
You see Punjab had set the field for a right-handed batsman Sarfaraz Khan as he was set to take the strike. But Warner had walked up to Sarfaraz at the last moment and the left-handed batsman took the strike
Right Before the first ball, the commentator Murali Karthik for star Sports said “What’s interesting here is that when Liam Livingstone was getting ready to bowl, Sarfaraz was taking the strike, they set the field for the right-hander and suddenly David Warner decided that he wants to take the strike. So, they have changed the entire field and the batters have swapped ends.”
Talking about the same after the dismissal, Karthik said: “Actually, if you saw Sarfaraz, he had already taken the guard and he trudged reluctantly towards the other end and now David Warner is going to do that? Might as well have allowed the right-hander to take strike.”
