AB de Villiers has said that the current Australia v/s South Africa test series 'will be one to remember'. 

Not only the series had seen some intense rivalry on the field, it has also witnessed charges of ball tapering, send-offs, staircase fights, ICC demerit points and war of words. 

David Warner, the Australian opener, has been in the middle of most of these controversies. 

After his infamous staircase altercation with Quinton de Kock, Warner was involved in yet another staircase row after a South African spectator reportedly hurled abuses at him on the second day of the third Test in Cape Town. 

In a video which has emerged on social media, an elderly man can be seen sarcastically applauding Warner as he was returning to the pavilion after being bowled by Kagiso Rabada.

What exactly transpired between the two is still not clear but the video reveals that Warner did turn back and respond to the fan. However, a timely intervention by Frank Dimasi, Australian team’s head of security saw Warner head back to the pavilion.

Three weeks ago, CCTV cameras had caught Warner’s ugly spat with Quinton de Kock in Durban. Warner was involved in a heated argument with the Proteas wicketkeeper after de Kock allegedly made some personal comments. 

As per media reports, the fan was removed from the stadium and security cover has been enhanced near the staircase.

Here's a video of the latest incident: 

Warner is sitting on three demerit points and only one further indiscretion away from a one-Test suspension. Before being dismissed, the Australian vice-captain had hit 30 runs from 14 balls, but Rabada had the last laugh, sending the batsman's off stump cartwheeling in the sixth over.
