Melbourne: Australia opener David Warner on Friday (January 1) welcomed his fans on New Year by mimicking Tamil actor Rajinikanth. By using the Reface app, Warner swapped the superstar’s face with his and posted a funny video on Instagram.
“Requested by a lot of people Happy New Year #actor #movie,” Warner captioned the post.

Earlier, Warner was added to the Australia squad for the remaining two Tests and assistant coach Andrew McDonald on Thursday (December 31) indicated that the opening batsman might play even if he is not a 100 percent fit.
“That’s a real clear option that he may not be 100 per cent fit. Who is coming off an injury? You never know until you get out there. If he’s 90, 95% fit, and that conversation is that he’s fit enough to be able to perform his duties for the team then I’m sure that will be a conversation the coach has with the player,” McDonald was quoted as saying to ESPNcricinfo.
“Most times Justin’s pretty open with the players, giving them accountability around that,” he had added. McDonald had said the Australian camp is really excited to have Warner back for the Test series. “He’s very optimistic he should be ready to go which is great news. We’re really excited to have him back. There’s nothing worse than being injured when you’re at the top of your game as David has been for a period of time,” McDonald had said.
Cricket Australia on Wednesday (December 30) informed that the hosts will train in Melbourne on January 2 and 3 before moving to Sydney on January 4 for the third game starting from January 7-11.
