David Warner: Just like Virat Kohli’s international century ended after two and a half years.. Latest after 2 years and 10 days i.e. after a total of 1043 days, David Warner’s wait for international century also ended.
It seems that out-of-form cricketers in world cricket are having a good time. Also, the star players who are waiting for a century are also fulfilling that wish and ending their wait. First Virat Kohli and now David Warner are among them. These two star batsmen of the present era have only one problem. They are settling for half-century innings.. Currently, they are going forward by quenching their thirst for centuries. But like a few months back, Virat Kohli’s wait for an international century is over after two and a half years. Similarly now after 2 years and 10 days i.e. after a total of 1043 days the wait for David Warner’s international century is also over. David Warner achieved this feat in the third ODI against England in Melbourne.
David Warner scored 106 off 102 balls in the third ODI against England in Melbourne. His innings had 8 fours and 2 sixes. This is the 18th ODI century for the left-handed Australian opener. 43rd century in international career.
1043 days for 43rd international century..
But David Warner had to wait a long time for his 43rd international century. This century came from his bat after 1043 days. He scored his last century on 14 January 2020 against India at Wankhede. From then till today, Warner has not got a bat century. Not only did he score a century against England in Melbourne recently, he also put together a huge partnership with his opening partner Trevid Head. It broke a 20-year-old record.
