The COVID-19 pandemic has had some affected sporting events around the world as most of them are either got canceled or postponed. However, cricket isn’t different as most international tours stand canceled and the Indian Premier League (IPL) has been postponed indefinitely. However, it is David Warner who has been entertaining his fan with his interesting social media posts. He has become a TikTok star ever since the lockdown was imposed in Australia due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Thursday, Warner was joined by former England batsman Kevin Pietersen and former Indian opener, Aakash Chopra for another amusing video.
In the video, David Warner suddenly appears in his SunRisers Hyderabad jersey as soon as he picks up his “magic bat”. When he passes it on to Kevin, his clothes change to England Test jersey from the 2013 Ashes series and finally, the bat reaches Aakash Chopra, who can be seen wearing a white jersey second later.

It looks like another attempt by the Australian opener to keep his fans entertained after a series of TikTok videos. As far as cricket is concerned, Australia has canceled a two-match Test tour of Bangladesh in June, and a limited-overs home series against Zimbabwe is also in doubt. Australia is due to host the ICC Twenty20 World Cup in October-November, for which the International Cricket Council has said it is “exploring all options”.
Currently, India is going through a nationwide lockdown. Meanwhile, the number of coronavirus positive patients in India went past 53900 with almost 1800 people losing their lives on Thursday, as per the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
