In the match between Australia and New Zealand at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, New Zealand won the toss and chose to field first. Travis Head, who was making a comeback after recovering from an injury, delivered an impressive century, while David Warner continued his outstanding form by scoring 81 runs from 65 balls.
Consequently, Australia compiled a total of 388 runs in their allotted 50 overs. After completing his batting duties, Warner added an entertaining twist to the second innings by impersonating the popular Indian actor Allu Arjun.
While patrolling the boundary, Warner delighted the crowd with a rendition of Allu Arjun’s iconic hook step from the song “Srivalli,” and a video of his performance quickly went viral on social media.
Warner has previously expressed his admiration for Allu Arjun and has been celebrating his centuries during the ongoing World Cup in a style inspired by the movie “Pushpa.”
