Tennis star Novak Djokovic comes from a country that has no connection to cricket. The Serbian recently took to the court at the Margaret Court Arena -- the home of Australian Open -- and tried his hand out at cricket.
He had Aussie cricket legend Shane Warne to guide him. And Warney gave the Serbian some handy bowling tips during his masterclass.

He then tried some football, or was it soccer.

He also tried his hand at Australian rules football.

The world No 2 was at his funny best as he 'mock wrestled' with Melbourne Demons footballer Max Gawn.
The 29-year-old had a bit more practice as he showed off his football skills and also wasn't afraid to play wheelchair tennis.
He said on Instagram: 'My heart is filled with joy and gratitude after tonight’s #NightWithNovak event in the organisation of @australianopen .
'A big THANK YOU for all of you taking part in this event, watching, sharing this good cause and donating.'
Djokovic took part in the free charity gala ahead of the Grand Slam in order to raise money for his foundation.
