David Warner’s iconic Pushpa tribute has the fans going crazy –

Allu Arjun and David Warner are two of the most popular figures in Hyderabad. The Telegu star has often complimented the Australian's ode to various Telegu movies. One such movie is the blockbuster Pushpa which is an Allu Arjun film.

David Warner did the famous Allu Arjun pose when he took the catch to dismiss Abdullah Shafique. This was followed by the Australian opener doing the famous signature step of the movie. The crowd which had come to see their former skipper lapped it up and went crazy.

Australia posted a 14-run win over Pakistan on Tuesday to kick off their preparation for the 2023 ODI World Cup. David Warner scored 48 from just 33 balls with four boundaries and 3 sixes. Each and every Australian batter got a good start with the bat as they posted a mammoth score of 351. Cameron Green was the top scorer with 50 while Haris Rauf gave away 97 runs from his 9 overs. Shaheen Afridi and Hasan Ali bowled six overs each and were very economical against the rampant Australians.

Chasing 352 to win, Pakistan were all out for 337 and went down after a valiant fight. Babar Azam retired out himself after scoring 90 runs. The Pakistani skipper got his runs in just 59 balls with 11 fours and 2 sixes. Iftikhar Ahmed (83) and Mohammad Nawaz (50) were the other contributors with the bat. Labuschagne was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets while Mitchell Marsh and Pat Cummins picked two wickets.
