Australia batsman David Warner has issued a challenge to his opening partner Aaron Finch, who has recently joined the video-sharing platform TikTok.

Warner, whose TikTok videos have been quite the rage lately, shared his latest clip on Instagram. In said clip, Warner is seen pouring himself a cup of coffee while grooving to late pop icon Michael Jackson’s all-time classic Billie Jean.

Warner followed it up by tagging Finch in the comments section, where he wrote: “Let’s see if you can better this, Aaron Finch. Lol. Thoughts?”

Finch replied with a terse “Challenge accepted” and followed it up with his own clip moments later. In the video, Finch appeared to be mocking Warner’s apparent lack of dancing skills, performing an awkward sequence of moves and captioning it: “Over 30 and trying to dance on TikTok, Might stick to cricket”.

Social media has arguably been the biggest tonic for cricketers and their fans, as the world continues to be in lockdown, with countries battling to keep the spread of the coronavirus in check.

Warner’s little gigs on TikTok have been especially popular among his followers lately.
