Left-hander David Warner, who was Australia’s representative in the post-match press conference on Thursday, tried to emulate Christiano Ronaldo as he removed two Coca-Cola bottles from the table, albeit tongue-in-cheek, before being told to keep the bottles back in place.
“Can I remove these? Do I have to put it there? If it’s good enough for Cristiano, it’s good enough for me,” Warner quipped while trying to remove the two bottles in front of him.
Ronaldo, a fitness enthusiast, had removed two glass bottles of Coca-Cola from the press conference table ahead of his team Portugal’s opener against Hungary in the Euros. The striker had picked up a bottle of water instead, urging people to choose the beverage over soft drinks.
His gesture had reportedly cost Coca-Cola a loss of $5.2 billion, with its share price falling by 1.6 percent.
Warner was the star of Australia’s win over Sri Lanka, as he returned to form with a fine 65 off 42 balls. The team chased down 155 with seven wickets to spare to register their second win of the edition.
