David Warner posted the above picture on his official Instagram handle with a comical caption that proved to be a huge hit amongst his followers. Warner hinted that Virat Kohli might not be entering the TikTok arena anytime soon but hoped to face-off against his long-time rival on the cricket pitch, sooner rather than later. Warner, who has over 5000 runs in the ODI format for Australia, was involved in a heated exchange with Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan during the 2014 home Test series against India as seen in the picture above.

In fact, Australia captain Steve Smith also joined in on the argument which ICC umpire Ian Gould later on described as a 'war'. Ian Gould further opined that the 2014 Adelaide incident is what spurred Australia on towards the infamous ball-tampering scandal at Cape Town in 2018.
