Australian vice-captain, David Warner and South African wicket-keeper batsman Quinton De Kock were engaged in an ugly spat during the Durban Test. It has been reported by Australian media that personal insults made things fiery between Warner and De Kock during the Tea break on the fourth day of the Test match.
CCTV footage showed Warner apparently having a go at De Kock as the players of both the sides walked up a narrow staircase leading to their respective dressing rooms at the start of the break.
More than the verbal argument, Twitter turned their eyes on Faf Du Plessis, who was out in a towel during the altercation. The South African skipper can be seen calming things between the two cricketers.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Faf’s appearance in the CCTV footage:
How to deal with David Warner:
Kepler Wessels: "David Warner is not the scariest person I've ever seen".
Faf Du Plessis: Go and talk to him in your towel.— Ben Karpinski (@followthebounce)
I am now imagining that Faf just walks around in a towel with his abs out every minute he isn't on the field.

I hope Faf gets some kind of endorsement deal from a towel brand. The least he deserves for his alpha jock act.

Julle, I can’t stop laughing at the fact that Faf gave so little fucks regarding Warner that he actually came out to defuse the situation in only a towel.
