The Australian opener, David Warner’s throwback video of a sword wielding celebration has attracted a lot of attention from Indian cricketers. The sword-wielding celebration was made famous by the Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and Warner had attempted to imitate during last year’s IPL.
Not only Jadeja but the Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, and Wriddhiman Saha too reacted to Warner’s sword-wielding celebration using the bat. While Kohli and Saha reacted with emoticons, Jadeja, said “Hahahaah almost there David.”
Warner had shared a video from his IPL stint with SRh in 2019, where he can be seen swinging his bat like a warrior during a shoot for a commercial. He immediately breaks into laughter once the director says cut. The swinging of the bat like this is a trademark celebration style of Jadeja.

David Warner asked his fans to tell him whether he came close to Jadeja or not. Captioning the post on Instagram, he wrote: “Throwback to this time last year to a commercial we were doing for @sunrisershyd Do you think I have got @royalnavghan covered for the sword.”
Warner has been quite active on social media ever since people all over the world were asked to stay indoors and practice social distancing in the wake of the coronavirus crisis. The southpaw has been in good form ever since he has made a comeback to international cricket after serving a year’s ban for his involvement in the ball-tampering controversy.

David Warner is fourth in the list of highest run-scorers in the history of the IPL, behind the Indian trio of Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, and Rohit Sharma. He leads the field among overseas cricketers, a fair margin ahead of the likes Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers.
