As many as 59 Chinese mobile apps were banned by the Indian government on Monday (June 29, 2020) amid the on-going row with China. Popular video-making app TikTok was also included in the list which made the netizens go berserk. #TikTok became one of the top Twitter trends as Indians celebrate the decision. Following the news, however, swashbuckling Australian opener David Warner also received some unwanted attention as he has been a very active user of TikTok in recent times. Many fans trolled the Sunrisers Hyderabad captain following the decision by the Indian government. In fact, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin also didn’t leave the opportunity to pull Warner’s leg.

Well, Warner is not someone who’s known for holding back. Hence, one can expect an interesting reply from him. The left-handed batsman made his debut on TikTok during COVID-19 and since then, he has been posting intriguing videos through the app. During an interaction, the 2015 World Cup winner even said that he makes the videos in order to entertain his fans.
"We have to think out of the box. For me, it was about putting smiles on the people's faces. Through TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram, my family and I have been able to do that," said the 33-year-old while talking to India Today.
