Watch: Bairstow Fails To See The Ball, Warner Claps With A Smirk On His Face

Watch: SRH teammates David Warner and Jonny Bairstow have fun at the boundary during Ashes.

Cricket Has become a global sport with the arrival of franchise leagues and the players from different countries have now become friends and colleagues. These friendships can also be seen during the most hyped-up international series, and the 'oldest rivalry in cricket' - Australia vs England, The Ashes. 

In the 4th test of the ongoing Ashes series, teammates from franchise leagues have become foes. However, their friendships are still intact. 

Jonny Bairstow was fielding at the backward square leg region on day 2 of the SCG Test. In the 130th over of the innings, the sun was shining right in front of Bairstow and he couldn't see when and where Mitchell Starc hit the ball. The ball raced away to the boundary and Bairstow had no idea. 

His old Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) opening partner David Warner was sitting at the boundary rope along with his Australian mates, just behind Bairstow. In the next over, when the ball once again came towards the Englishman, he safely kept an eye on it. 

Warner couldn't help himself but clap after looking towards Bairstow with a smirk on his face and Bairstow too acknowledged his SRH's teammates' gesture with a thumbs up. 

Bairstow had a bit of trouble picking up the ball... and former Sunrisers teammate David Warner made sure to congratulate him on his next successful attempt! #Ashes pic.twitter.com/sIFtSXL3UY

Was it a sarcastic one or a genuine appreciation for his old mate, only Warner and Bairstow can tell.
