A funny yet heart-warming incident happened during the match between Gujarat Lions and Sunrisers Hyderabad during the initial phase of the IPL. SRH were chasing a modest total of 136 in Match 6 of the IPL  at Hyderabad. David Warner and Moises Henriques were cruising along and looked set to take Sunrisers to a huge win.

During the closing stages of the game, young Indian pacer Basil Thampi was bowling his first over in the Indian Premier League as he was making his debut. After delivering one of the balls, Thampi dived trying to field off his own bowling but failing. While doing so, one of his shoes came off and landed on David Warner’s running path. While taking the quick single, Warner decided to do something unique as he went out of his way to pick up Thampi’s show and give it back to him before completing the run. The crowd roared in laughter and applause as this gesture of the Australian was well-appreciated and Warner was held to be a true sportsman. Some saw the funnier side of the incident and took to social media to share the incident and have a laugh.
