Also, the former cricketers have been partial towards their own countrymen. Australian skipper Steven Smith expressed his views on the incidence and said that the De Kock had provoked the Australian opener by passing some personal comments.

On the other hand, former South African captain Graeme Smith said that Warner is experiencing a dose of his own medicine.

Warner is known for his personal jibes at opposition players. Smith said that this had to happen.
