David Warner trolls Pat Cummins after starring in Gillette ad - 'What are you shaving?'

Australia opener David Warner has poked fun at his Test captain Pat Cummins after the 28-year-old appeared in a new advert for Gillette.

Cummins is the face of Gillette's cricket sponsorship and appeared in an advert for their new ProGlide 5 razor alongside New Zealand actor Julian Dennison. After sharing the advert on his Instagram, Warner could not resist taking a jab at his captain, jokingly asking: "What are you actually shaving??"

And fans certainly enjoyed Warner's cheeky dig, with the comment amassing almost 10,000 likes. Both players featured for Australia in their historic Test series win over Pakistan earlier this month.

Australia won the series 1-0 after beating Pakistan by 115 runs in the final Test in Lahore, their first overseas series win since 2016 and first series win in Asia since 2011. "The amount of confidence we'll get out of winning over here, not just as a team but so many individuals," Cummins said of the victory

"Every individual had their moment and has shown that their game stands up to Asian conditions. So it's huge for Sri Lanka later in the year, India next year. That's awesome.

"Everyone's just totally elated. Winning overseas just doesn't happen very often. It's been a real toil for the last 25-30 days.

"We knew it was going to be totally different to normal life in Australia, under different conditions. And to come away with a series is hugely satisfying."

Cummins and Warner are not involved in the ODI and T20I series which have followed the Test matches, with both players returning home to spend some time with their families before jetting out to India for the IPL.

Cummins will feature for Kolkata Knight Riders, having been bought back by the franchise in the mega auction for 7.75 crore (£691,524). Warner, meanwhile, was picked up by Delhi Capitals for 6.25 crore (£589,108) ending his long association with former franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad.
