World-renowned Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic, during the Australian Open, was seen playing cricket instead of tennis, and a video of this moment has gone viral on social media.
According to news agencies, in the lead-up to the Australian Open 2024, top seed Novak Djokovic added a touch of cricket to his pre-tournament activities by engaging in a friendly game with Jackson Warne, son of the late Australian cricketer Shane Warne and Australian cricketer Steve Smith.
A video of Novak Djokovic is trending on social media, where he can be observed playing cricket on a tennis court instead of engaging in a tennis match, while his opponent is serving tennis balls to him.

During the cricket session, Djokovic showcased his versatile sporting skills. When bowling to Smith, Djokovic delivered a length ball that Smith effortlessly sent into the enthusiastic crowd. Djokovic, not content with just bowling, then tried his hand at batting when facing a delivery from Warne. The initial attempt saw him miss connecting with the ball, prompting a humorous sequence where Djokovic playfully swapped his racket for a bat just before facing the second delivery.
The charismatic exchange of sportsmanship added an entertaining dimension to Djokovic’s pre-tournament preparations. Fans of tennis stars are sharing interesting comments on the now viral video.
