Ahead of the ODI series against India, Australia star batter David Warner was seen having a good time in Mumbai. The cricketer, who is quite active on Instagram, often impresses his Indian fans with his social media posts. Mr. Warner has always been a fan of India and his Instagram is full of posts showcasing his love for the country. This time, he shared a video wherein he is seen playing gully cricket with locals and fans in Mumbai, where the first ODI is scheduled to take place.
The clip shows David Warner, dressed in a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers, getting ready to bat as the bowler is about to release the ball. He then plays a defensive shot to a delivery bowled at him.
"Found a quiet street to have a hit,'' he captioned the video.

The video has gone viral, impressing Indians who loved his humility and his passion for cricket.
One user wrote, ''Did u apply for Indian citizenship? Bcz your love about India is incredible..love u sir.'' Another wrote, ''Such a humble man.'' A third added, ''David Warner be like - gully cricket is more difficult than international cricket.''
Notably, the left-handed batter was ruled out of the final two Tests against India in the recently-concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy due to a hairline fracture on his left elbow. He flew back to Australia for treatment and is now back in India after recovering from his injury.
He had earlier shared a selfie of himself sitting in a car while waiting in the Mumbai traffic. ''Out and about,'' the Australian cricketer captioned the image which also shows a kaali-peeli taxi driver giving thumbs up in the vehicle next to him.
