Australian cricketer David Warner, well-known for his stellar performances in the IPL and his affinity for Indian cinema, has once again captured the attention and admiration of fans across India. In a recent collaboration with popular Indian director S.S. Rajamouli for a Cred advertisement, Warner embraced a Bahubali-inspired persona, delivering humor and entertainment that quickly went viral on social media.
Warner, who has been vocal about his love for Indian movies, especially Telugu cinema, showcased his acting chops alongside Rajamouli, who is celebrated for his work on iconic blockbusters like Baahubali 1 and 2 and RRR. The ad cleverly unfolds with Rajamouli seeking IPL 2024 match tickets from Warner, who in turn asks for a role in the director’s next film in exchange for discounted tickets. Imagining a series of humorous mishaps with Warner on set, Rajamouli decides to sign up for CRED UPI instead.
The commercial, known for Cred’s uniquely creative approach featuring celebrities in unexpected roles, has been praised by fans and cricketing figures alike. Commentator Aakash Chopra humorously suggested that it’s time Warner was given an Aadhar card, endorsing him as an honorary Indian citizen. Warner’s connection to Indian pop culture has been a constant theme in his social media posts, often incorporating dances to popular Indian songs and celebrations inspired by Telugu cinema.
Warner’s on-field achievements in the IPL have also contributed to his popularity in India. As the only overseas batter among the top-3 highest run scorers in IPL history, his performances have solidified his reputation as one of the most reliable bats in the Delhi Capitals lineup. With an upcoming clash against LSG on April 14, Warner is undoubtedly a player to watch in IPL 2024.
This playful ad not only showcases Warner’s versatility and Rajamouli’s storytelling flair but also highlights the Australian cricketer’s deep connection with his Indian fans. As the ad garners millions of views and reactions, Warner’s charm and Rajamouli’s cinematic genius prove to be a winning combination off the cricket field as well.
