David Warner has his bat broken and gets hit on the head in BBL 2024-25 match [Watch]

Sydney Thunder captain David Warner was involved in an unusual moment during his team's BBL 2024-25 match against Hobart Hurricanes on January 10. The left-handed batter ended up breaking his bat while trying for a shot, and unfortunately, the broken part of the willow hit him on his helmet.

The incident took place on the first ball of the fourth over bowled by Riley Meredith. He bowled a full delivery around the off-stump line, which David Warner smacked straight to mid-on. While Warner did not get any runs for the shot, his bat broke and hit him on the head.

The BBL's official X handle shared the video of the incident on their profile.

"David Warner's bat broke and he's hit himself in the head with it (laughing emoji)," BBL captioned the clip.

It was an eventful over from Riley Meredith as he dismissed Warner's opening partner Sam Konstas later in the same over. Meredith bowled a short delivery. Konstas tried to hit it past the keeper but the ball hit his gloves and went straight to the wicketkeeper Matthew Wade.
