Watch WWE Superstar John Cena thunder with the bat in Sydney

Had you ever imagined John Cena with a cricket bat?

John Cena is one of the most popular figures in sports entertainment. The WWE superstar has won numerous world championships. But have you ever imagined him with a cricket bat? Cena, currently in Australia to promote his movie Ferdinand, paid a visit to the Sydney Thunder camp ahead of the 2017-18 BBL.

Cena found a coach in Thunder skipper Shane Watson, perhaps the best-equipped man in town to give Cena tips on batting, bowling and fielding. We hope the discussions did not involve the DRS.

We’re pretty sure @JohnCena could hit a few sixes in the @BBL for the #ThunderNation pic.twitter.com/aC4wvfEldc

Read some #Ferdinand, played some Cricket (poorly) and had a great time the past few days in Sydney until the teacher took attendance in class and I was marked absent… pic.twitter.com/stIOqDeKoW
