'I was sick as a dog' - David Warner reveals how he got into trouble after pranking Ricky Ponting

Australian star batter David Warner was recently in action in the ongoing 16th edition of the Indian Premier League. He served Delhi Capitals (DC) as a captain in the absence of their regular skipper Rishabh Pant who is still healing from his injuries. However, Warner horribly failed to lead DC as they finished in the 9th position in the points table with only 10 points in 14 matches.

Meanwhile, the star left-hander recently revealed an exciting story about him and former Australian captain Ricky Ponting during the series against South Africa in 2010. Warner said that Ponting taught him a lesson after he did a prank on him. Warner once put Vaseline on Ponting room’s door handle and it was Warner’s first and last prank on the former Australian captain.

"During my first away series, which was in South Africa in 2010, Ricky Ponting's room was next to me. I thought it would be smart to put Vaseline on his door handle. I also put vegemite in his keyhole. I was looking through my peephole that he was trying to open his door. He went on to put the key but it didn't open. He had to take help from the receptionist. Someone must've told him it was me," Warner was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

I went through customs in Australia: David Warner

Warner will now play in the upcoming Test Championship final which will be against India in June. Warner isn’t in great form when we talk about the longest format, however, he looked good in IPL. Meanwhile, Warner further talked about the prank and said that he could’ve gone to jail for not disclosing the prank.

"Three weeks later, I went home and didn't open my cricket kit. I went to pull out my cricket shoes, and there was salmon and eggs. I was like what is going on here? Who would do this to me? I went through customs in Australia. I could've gone to jail for not declaring the stuff. I figured out it was Punter. I was sick as a dog. Ponting told me 'You wanna play prank on me? I will have the last laugh. That was the last time I ever pranked Ricky Ponting. I've learned my lesson," he added.
