Delhi Capitals (DC) have found the best possible way to reward their veteran opener, David Warner for his match-winning exploits against SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH). After the star opener knocked the wind out of his former franchise in what was touted as a ‘grudge match’, DC came up with an Instagram mashup for their decorated opening batter. It was a well-edited mashup of David Warner in Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’ avatar.

Captioning the post in which DC made a mashup of Warner as ‘Pushpa’, the titular character of the Telugu blockbuster movie., they wrote: “Hence proved, David Warner 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 hai”.
