With all sporting events suspended in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, sports stars, too, are bringing out their creative best on social media platforms. Australian opener David Warner on Saturday shared a TikTok video of him dancing with his daughter to ‘Sheila ki Jawani’, the hugely popular Bollywood track featuring Katrina Kaif.
“Indi has asked to also do one for you guys! please help me someone,” he captioned the post.
Recently, he shaved his head in support of medical staff and healthcare workers fighting relentlessly against the coronavirus pandemic.
Warner had shared a time-lapse video of him shaving his head on his Instagram account, and went on to nominate fellow Australian cricketer Steve Smith and India captain Virat Kohli.
“Been nominated to shave my head in support of those working on the frontline #Covid-19 here is a time lapse. I think my debut was the last time I recall I’ve done this. Like it or not??,” he captioned the video on his Instagram account.
In the second panel of the post, Warner further nominated Australian cricketers Pat Cummins, Joe Burns, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa, golfer Travis Smyth, TV personality and author Piers Morgan, along with Smith and Kohli.
In February, Warner was reinstated as captain of the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad for the upcoming season. Warner, who led the Sunrisers to title win in 2016, takes over from New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson. The 33-year-old had stepped down as captain after he was barred from participating in the 2018 season of the tournament in the aftermath of the 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
Warner served a one-year ban for his role and returned to international cricket before last year's World Cup.
