Australia opening batter David Warner has posted a picture with India wrist spinner Yuzvendra Chahal on his official Instagram account. The picture feature both the cricketers in different frames. Warner also hilariously added a parody award by the name of 'ICC Male Tiktoker of the year'. Warner and Chahal are famous for making for making TikTok videos since March 2020, when whole world went into lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic.
In June, TitTok was banned by the Government of India after the Indo-China border standoff. This meant the wrist spinner couldn't continue making videos on the banned platform but Warner kept making videos as it was not banned in his country. However, these days, both the players make videos on Instagram reels.
Recently, David Warner has been editing some movie clips and replacing his face with original actors and posting them on Reels. The photo posted on the 35-year-old's account captioned "Who wants to see a duet reel with @yuzi_chahal23 and I this year if possible!! #reels #funny #dance #ipl #india #comedy."
