Australian cricketer David Warner delighted fans by posting an Instagram story supporting Ram Charan's latest movie, Peddi.David Warner is famously known in India as an honorary "Telugu boy" due to his years playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and his viral reels dancing to South Indian hit songs. He added a fun caption teasing a new dance video. He playfully asked his followers if he should start practicing his dance steps for the movie’s viral soundtrack. Warner was specifically hyping up the film's music, composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman. The catchy tracks have already inspired millions of dance reels online. Warner's story went viral within minutes on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.
Whenever Warner supports Telugu cinema, Indian fans flood the internet with memes saying that the government should give him an official Indian Aadhaar card because of his pure love for the culture. Fans love seeing a global cricket champion from Australia openly backing a regional Indian film, proving how massive South Indian cinema has become globally. On his Official Instagram Story, Warner posted a clip of the film's rustic soundtrack and added an active voting poll. He asked his fans: "DO YOU THINK I SHOULD TRY THIS?” The results are officially in. A massive 95% of voters selected "Yes," demanding that he recreate Ram Charan’s dance steps, while only 5% voted "No". After seeing the final numbers, Warner posted a funny reaction caption: "Results are in!! Guess I best start practicing." Fans are now eagerly tracking his page to see when he will drop the official dance reel.
David Warner shuts down IPL return rumours
David Warner has firmly closed the door on playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) again. His final decision came after a blunt social media interaction following the elimination of his team, the Karachi Kings, from the Pakistan Super League (PSL) playoffs. Following the Karachi Kings' exit from the tournament, Warner shared an emotional Instagram post. He praised his squad's "passion, resilience, and attitude" through a tough season. Under his post, an Indian cricket fan commented, "It's better for you to quit PSL and return back in IPL.” Warner responded directly with just five words: "No need for that now." This quick reply went viral and instantly put an end to all comeback rumors.
Warner's decision is not just about a single social media comment. His exit from the IPL is a mix of auction results, age, and old team drama. Warner went completely unsold during the IPL 2025 mega auction at his base price of ₹2 crore. For the 2026 auction, he chose not to sign up at all, proving his focus had shifted elsewhere. Warner is an IPL legend who led Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to their only title in 2016. However, his relationship with the team fell apart bitterly in 2021 when he was stripped of captaincy and dropped. Even years later, the SRH Instagram page still has him blocked, showing the bridge has been burned.
