The video elicited a response from former England captain Michael Vaughan. In reply to Jadeja’s video, the former batsman wrote: “Your grass needs a mow, rockstar.” In reply. Jadeja wrote: “Yes, but I don’t know how to cut it’.
Last week, Warner shared a video from his IPL stint last season, where he can be seen swinging his bat like a warrior during a shoot for a commercial. He immediately breaks into laughter once the director says cut. The swinging of the bat like this is a trademark celebration style of the Indian all-rounder.
Warner asked his fans to tell him whether he came close to Jadeja or not.
Warner captioned the post as: “Throwback to this time last year to a commercial we were doing for @sunrisershyd Do you think I have got @royalnavghan covered for the sword,” Warner wrote in the post.
