Star Australian opener David Warner did a Cristiano Ronaldo during the ongoing T20 World Cup here as he removed Coca Cola bottles placed in front of him during a press conference for a brief while. Just before the start of the press conference after he guided Australia to a seven-wicket win over Sri Lanka here on Thursday, Warner grabbed the two soft drink bottles lying in front of him and said with a smile
“Can I remove these? Though I have to put it there.” “If it’s good enough for Cristiano, it’s good enough for me. That’s right,” he added while putting the two bottles back.

Ronaldo’s act of removing the soft drink during a European Championships press conference reportedly cost the global beverage giant a whopping USD 4 billion. The footage of Warner removing the bottles attracted considerable social media attention but any financial fallout is not known yet.

A well-known fitness enthusiast, Ronaldo set aside two Coca-Cola glass bottles that lay in front of him during a press conference ahead of Portugal”s opening Euro match against Hungary. The 36-year-old striker picked up a bottle of water saying “Agua!” in Portuguese, seemingly urging people to choose water over aerated drinks.
The 35-year-old Warner, who has gone through a lean patch, was back in his elements on Thursday as his sizzling 42-ball 65, which had 10 fours, made it easy for Australia to chase down the target of 155 in only 17 overs. It was Australia’s second win in as many Super 12 games and they look like a strong contender apart from England in the group to move into the semifinals. Warner was involved in two solid partnerships – 70 in 6.5 overs with skipper Aaron Finch (37 off 23 balls) and another 50 in 6.3 overs with former skipper Steve Smith (28 not out off 26 balls).
An absolute howler by Sri Lanka player Kusal Perera on the field led to Australian batter David Warner leading the charge and helping his team record a comfortable victory over the Lankan Lions on Thursday in the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Sri Lanka were the first team to bat and they posted 154-6 in 20 overs. The Aussies scored 155-3 in just 17 overs. Warner scored a brilliant 65 but he should have been walking back to the pavilion long before that. Perera dropped a sitter when Warner was on 18 and had that catch been completed, fans might have been in for a much tighter run chase.
