Australian cricket star David Warner gears up for his farewell Test series against Pakistan, a heartwarming video of his daughters, Ivy Mae and Indi Rae, conducting interviews with cricket legends has gone viral.
In the video, Ivy Mae playfully refers to her father as ‘Grandpa’ before interviewing prominent figures like Ravi Shastri, Michael Hussey, Pat Cummins, Brad Haddin, and Alyssa Healy.
Shastri, when asked about the player he’s eager to watch this summer, responded with admiration for Warner.
“He has been entertaining us with his batting for so many years, it’s your dad,” he said.
The upcoming three-match Test series against Pakistan, starting on December 14 in Perth, marks the last red-ball matches for Warner as an Australian player. The 37-year-old left-handed batter, recently victorious in the ODI World Cup, is set to retire from Test cricket at the series’ conclusion.
In the later part of the video, Ivy interviews Hussey, Cummins, and Healy about their childhood cricket idols. Hussey reveals Allan Border as his hero, while Cummins fondly recalls Brett Lee as one of his favorites. Healy expresses admiration for Ricky Ponting and Belinda Clarke in the women’s cricket realm.
The younger sibling, Indi, takes on the role of interviewer with former wicketkeeper-batter Brad Haddin. Haddin shares his current favorite players, including Pat Cummins and Steve Smith, playfully struggling to recall David Warner’s name.
The video also captures a humorous exchange between Ivy and Hussey when she asks about his most annoying teammate. With a laugh, Hussey points to David Warner as his pick.
After his debut for Australia in 2009, David Warner left behind an impressive cricket legacy. He has played in 109 Tests, 161 ODIs, and 99 T20Is for Australia. As he bids farewell to Test cricket, this endearing interview video adds a delightful touch to his celebrated career.
