Joe Root
Nightclub punch
David Warner was dropped from Australia's Champions Trophy squad and the opening Ashes Test after punching England's wicketkeeper batsman Joe Root during the Champions Trophy following a row over a fake beard at a nightclub in Birmingham in June 2013. The Aussie opener later revealed he attacked Root because he felt he was insulting a particular community.
Thami Tsolekile
War of words
Warner, who was serving a one-month suspension for attacking Root in a bar, was involved in an on-field altercation with South African wicketkeeper Thami Tsolekile, in July 2013 during a four-day match between Australia 'A' and South Africa 'A' in Pretoria. Umpires had to intervene twice on the fourth day after the duo got into a war of words for the second consecutive day.

Rohit Sharma
Speak English, mate
Warner was involved in an ugly spat with India's Rohit Sharma during an ODI tri-nation series at the MCG in 2015. The Aussie opener was seen confronting Rohit after the Indian took a single to an overthrow from Warner. Umpires John Ward and Kumar Dharmasena stepped in to separate the players. Warner was seen asking Rohit to speak English. "When I went over to say something to him, he sort of said something in their language and I said 'speak English' because, if you're going to say something, understand that theoretically, I cannot speak Hindi," Warner was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald.
On-field spat with Shikhar Dhawan
Warner and India opener Shikhar Dhawan were fined 15 and 30 per cent of their match fees respectively for an on-field spat during the fourth day of the Adelaide Test in 2014. The incident took place after Varun Aaron had bowled Warner for 66. However, the delivery was called a no-ball after replays showed that the Indian pacer had overstepped. Warner, who went on to register his second hundred in the match, walked towards the bowler, who had celebrated wildly following his dismissal, to taunt him. Later, Dhawan and Warner were engaged in a war of words, before the umpires had to intervene.
