But things took a sudden change after the Indian government decide🐈d to bཧan 59 Chinese apps. As per reports, these apps were stealing personal data of the users.
The first name which popped up in the minds of cricket lovers once the news broke out was of David Warner, and the Aussie cricketer has finall▨y responded to the TikTok ban in India.
When a fan wrote, “TikTok ban in India” with a teasing smiley, the 33-year-old replied, “They are indeed but I can’t do anything about it being banned from India. That’s the government’s decision and people in India have to respect that.”
Earlier, Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin trolled Warner on Twitter, stating: “Appo Anwar?”, which is a dialogue from veteran actor Rajnikant’s film Baashha.
The dialogue roughly translates to: “So, what’s David Warner going to do now?”
Appo Anwar? 😉
