Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, many major cricketing series around the world came to a standstill. In the meantime, many prominent athletes have become more active on social media than usual in order to interact with their fans. Two of the best openers in the modern era, Rohit Sharma and David Warner also went live on Instagram recently where they talked about various topics ranging from cricket to personal life. During the course of the conversation, Warner revealed that he has watched a documentary on Mumbai Indians called “Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians.” However, Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal trolled the Australian star for having the ‘patience’ to watch the whole documentary.

He also heaped praises on the Aussie side which made a brilliant comeback after the infamous saga. During the discussion, Warner also claimed to watch a documentary series based on IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, the team which is led by Rohit.
