Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan has talked candidly about sharing the same dressing room as David Warner, providing a perspective on what it's like to go from being Warner's opponent to his teammate.
Shadab called Warner a "legend of the game" and acknowledged that playing with him is an educational experience in a video posted by the Big Bash League's official Instagram account. Shadab claimed that this phase is unique for him since, while having met Warner numerous times on the field, he had never played beside him.

The most notable aspect of Shadab's remarks was the difference he perceives in Warner's character. Shadab claims that when Warner is playing against you, he is a totally different person. He is a hard and intense opponent on the field. However, that edge gives way to something different once he is on your side.
As a teammate, Warner is amiable, encouraging, and considerate of others, according to Shadab. He makes an effort to handle everything and ensure that everyone in the group is at ease. Great competitors and great teammates are distinguished by that switch, according to Shadab.
Fans have already taken notice of Shadab Khan and David Warner, who both play for the Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League. In addition to being thrilling, Shadab sees the opportunity to learn from one of the biggest names in contemporary football by playing alongside a player he has long respected.
