Warner’s History of Fan Engagement
This isn’t the first time Warner has connected with fans on X (formerly Twitter). Previously, he responded to an Indian fan who had posted his pictures for 23 consecutive days, waiting for a reply. Warner’s response was similarly heartfelt, with a friendly “Hiiiiiii” accompanied by folded hands emojis.

Sad to hear that you won’t be able to add your aura to 2025 IPL.
Apologies from India. You are still loved here @davidwarner31— Saurabh Singh (@saurabhlunthi12) December 3, 2024
As India and Australia gear up for the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Adelaide, Warner’s remarkable record in pink-ball Tests is a point of discussion. He has accumulated 753 runs in 17 innings across nine matches at an average of 47.06, making him one of the most successful players in this format.
