Australia's opening batter David Warner was in his elements again during the second semi-final of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. He danced to his favourite Indian film's song in the match while fielding in the deep at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Those who follow the sport and Warner on Instagram clearly know that he loves the Indian movies and makes funny Reels and TikToks on some of the songs. He absolutely loves the film 'Pushpa: The Rise' which stars his favourite actor Allu Arjun. Warner has posted seveal videos of him dancing to the peppy numner 'Srivalli' from the film.
On Thursday night the cricket fans in Kolkata also witnessed the same dance by Warner. The DJ played the song and fans urged the Aussie batter to dance on it. Warner firstly hesitated and just waved the fans as he fielded near the ropes. But once the roar became noisy, he had to do the iconic dance step.
