David Warner praises Virat Kohli's workout

India captain Virat Kohli's reply to a fitness challenge by Hardik Pandya has garnered praise from the likes of Australian opener David Warner on Instagram.

Recently, Hardik Pandya had posted a video featuring his brother Krunal Pandya where he performed a tough push-up routine and invited one and all to take it up as an online fitness challenge. Soon, the Indian captain obliged and posted a reply tagging Hardik Pandya.

However, Kohli put an interesting twist to the challenge where he added push-up claps to the fitness routine. This impressive and intense workout session was appreciated even by Warner who also commented on the post.

Virat Kohli wrote in his caption:

“Hey H @hardikpandya7 loved your fly push-ups. Here’s adding a little clap to it.”

David Warner has been pretty active on several social media platforms including TikTok and Instagram throughout this lockdown period. He has been staying at his home with his wife and three kids, where they have all featured in hilarious videos and posts.

He praised Kohli through a comment, comparing his execution of the exercise to his cover drive:

“On point like your cover drive boss (thumbs up) @virat.kohli.”
