Australia batsman David Warner made a grand comeback into the scheme of affairs when he took the cricket world by a storm in 2019. Warner, the former vice-captain of Australia, came back stronger than ever from the infamous 'Sandpapergate' ban and treated his supporters with some beautiful performances with the bat. Although he struggled in the Ashes 2019, Warner returned to his best later in the year when he smashed 335* against Pakistan in the Adelaide Test.
David Warner is ready for India vs Australia challenge
David Warner will now be a part of the squad for the three-match ODI series in which Australia will take on India in their backyard. Warner already gets a lot of love in India as he has captained the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), even leading them to glory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 tournament. Warner showed his excitement for the tour by sharing a selfie of himself on a flight to Mumbai.

Indian and SRH fans also reacted to Warner's post with a lot of positivity, perhaps awaiting his exploits ahead of the first ODI in January 14 in Mumbai.
Welcome to India, love your style of cricket. Finally we hope to see a battle, rather than a one sided affair. Best of luck to you and your team.
