Oman player Kaleemullah did an arrogant and insulting celebration after taking David Warner's wicket in match 10 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which is being played at the Kensington Oval, on June 6 (Thursday). The pacer did a fiery celebration and even gestured kicking the Aussie legend out of the ground.
Kaleemullah gestures kicking David Warner
Kaleemullah's kicking gesture towards David Warner who played a crucial knock of 56 runs and did not allow his team on the backfoot is receiving a lot of obvious backlash from the fans. There is also a chance that he might have to face a penalty or fine after the match because of it.

The video of Kaleemullah's celebration is now going viral all across the social media at a rapid pace. Warner's wicket was obviously big for Oman but it appeared as if the player crossed certain while celebrating against the legendary cricketer. Warner even became the highest run-scorer for Australia in T20Is during this knock.
Stoinis and Warner's fifty help Australia post 164/5
Australia were down to 63/3 by the end of the 12th over and 80/3 by the 14th over. However, game-changing knocks from Stoinis and Warner helped the Aussies score 84 runs in the final six overs and reach a really good total from a point where even 120 seemed a little far. Warner got out after scoring crucial 56 runs but Stoinis remained unbeaten on 67 runs off just 36 balls.
“I’m happy how I finished, it was very tough. (On Warner's knock) Shows his experience at the top of the order every game, he is class apart. He spent time in the middle and didn’t panic, he did what is right for the team. We were going to accelerate regardless and if you get one or two boundaries at the start, you target that over. Nothing outright but that’s part of a game-plan,” Stoinis said in the mid-innings session.
