[In Pictures] David Warner's daughter Ivy interviews Ravi Shastri, Brett Lee, and others ahead of BGT 2024-25
Former Australian cricketer-turned-commentator David Warner's eldest daughter, Ivy, grabbed the mic to interview cricketing legends ahead of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy during the Great Fox Kayo launch on November 18. Ivy Mae was born to David and his wife, Candice Warner, in September 2014.
On Tuesday, November 19, Warner took to Instagram to share photos of Ivy conducting interviews with cricket greats, including Ravi Shastri, Allan Border, Brett Lee, Michael Vaughan, and Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle.
The 38-year-old captioned the post:
“Ivy is back at it again, interviewing some legends of the game and broadcasters. The summer of cricket is here.”
Meanwhile, earlier this year, the Australian opener announced his retirement from international cricket following the 2024 T20 World Cup. In his T20I career, the southpaw scored 3,277 runs in 110 matches, including 28 fifties and one century. He also retired from Test cricket in January 2024, having played 112 matches and scored 8,786 runs, with 37 fifties and 26 centuries to his name.
Warner’s final ODI appearance came exactly one year ago, on November 19, 2023, when Australia triumphed over India in the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad. Across 161 ODIs, the opener amassed 6,932 runs, including 33 fifties and 22 centuries.
“He’s going to come out and pile on some runs” - David Warner on Virat Kohli ahead of the 2024-25 BGT
David Warner has issued a warning to Australia, predicting that Virat Kohli will be in top form during the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. While the Delhi-born batter's recent numbers may not be his best, Warner believes that Kohli thrives when playing against Australia and that the series will bring out the best in him.
In his column for The Herald Sun, the former opener wrote:
"I’m worried about Virat Kohli … but not for the reasons everyone else is. People want to write Virat off after India’s disastrous 3-0 Test series loss to New Zealand this month, but I’m actually worried for Australia."
"This is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and we know Virat always steps up in Australia and completely embraces that challenge like almost no one else who has ever visited our shores. I’m genuinely worried for the Australian cricket team that he’s going to come out and pile on some runs," he added.
The 36-year-old has an exceptional Test record against Australia, amassing 2,042 runs in 25 matches, including five fifties and eight centuries.
