The veteran Australian opener, David Warner on Saturday shared a picture of his daughter Indi wearing a signed jersey, gifted by the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli on his official Instagram account. Warner’s second daughter Indi-Rae, who is a big fan of Indian skipper, can be seen smiling while posing for the camera wearing Kohli’s “playing jersey”.
Warner, who played the last couple of matches of the recently concluded four-match Test series, said that although his team lost the series, his daughter Indi was “very happy” after getting the special gift from the Indian skipper. In his post, Warner also mentioned that besides him and Australia’s limited-overs opening partner Arron Finch, Indi is a huge Virat Kohli fan.

Last year, Warner’s wife Candice, in a radio show ahead of India’s tour down Under, had jokingly described her middle child Indi as a “rebel” as she wants to be Virat Kohli.
During a chat with Triple M Sydney radio station, Candice said, “We do play a little bit of backyard cricket. The funny thing is my girls, sometimes they wanna be dad, sometimes they wanna be Finchy (Aaron Finch) but my middle child, she wants to be Virat Kohli. And I am not even joking, her favorite player is Virat Kohli. She is the rebel.”

While Warner missed the first two Tests due to an injury, Kohli returned home after the first Test for the birth of his first child. In Kohli’s absence, the Ajinkya Rahane-led India bounced back after losing the first Test in some style and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, beating Australia against 2-1.
