IPL 2024: David Warner featured in an ad for CRED, along with director SS Rajamouli

IPL 2024: Delhi Capitals opener David Warner left his fans in laughter with his recent ad. Where he was seen with oscar-winning Indian director SS Rajamouli in an ad for Cred. In that particular ad, Warner can be seen donning a personal inspired by Rajamouli’s popular movie – Bahubali, and his antics throughout the ad, have made the video viral on the internet.

England pacer Warner has been popular for his love for Indian movies, which has been a constant element in his social media activities in the past. The video has received a lot of praise for Warner from fans and even cricketing personalities.

Cred is a famous company for its out-of-the-ordinary creative approach involving famous personalities. Previously, Cred has also featured Rahul Dravid, Ravi Shastri, and Venkatesh Prasad in their commercials, which gives hype on social media.

In the shared video, SS Rajamouli was seen asking David Warner for tickets to an IPL 2024 match, only for the batter to highlight Cred’s features. Where Warner puts the condition for Rajamouli that he would have to cast the batter in his film in exchange for a discounted ticket. This makes Rajamouli anticipate a chaotic end to the circumstances, and ultimately go against the whole plan.
