One of the best opening batters of all time, former Australia star David Warner enjoyed a stellar career across formats for his country. Warner broke into the Australian team without much experience in first-class cricket when he made his international debut in 2009. He quickly established his credentials as one of the most exciting batters in white-ball cricket and became a vital cog in Australia's limited-overs side.
Warner had to wait for his Test debut for another couple of years, but it didn't take him long to become a prolific run-getter in the longest format. The swashbuckling left-hander, known for his ability to score quickly, played numerous impactful knocks for Australia across formats to help them record some memorable victories.
Warner was part of Australia's title-winning campaign in the 2015 ODI World Cup as well as the 2021 T20 World Cup, where he was awarded the Player of the Tournament award for being the highest run-getter in the tournament. Warner has been one of the most prolific run-getters for Australia in ODI World Cups over the years, boasting a great record in the showpiece event.
Warner is Australia's sixth-highest run-getter in ODIs with 6932 runs in 161 matches at an average of over 45 and a strike rate of 97.26, including 22 centuries and 33 fifties. He also has a great record in the ODI World Cup for the six-time champions. The left-hander played three ODI World Cups for Australia from 2015 to 2023 and is the 2nd highest run-getter for the six-time champions in the premier tournament.
Former Australia opener David Warner played 29 matches in the ODI World Cup and amassed 1527 runs at an average of 56.55 and a strike rate of 101.46, including 6 centuries and five fifties. Warner is second on the list of batters with the most centuries in ODI World Cup history with six tons to his name. He stands only behind Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who has 7 centuries in the tournament.
Warner slammed his maiden ODI World Cup ton against Afghanistan in the 2015 edition. Opening the innings for Australia, the left-hander smashed a sensational knock of 178 runs off 133 balls, which became the highest individual score by an Aussie batter in ODI World Cup history. Warner's blazing ton helped Australia thrash Afghanistan by 275 runs in the game.
Warner's 178 against Afghanistan was his only ton in the 2015 ODI World Cup. He followed it up with three centuries in the 2019 ODI World Cup, where Warner scored 647 runs in 10 matches to finish as the second-highest run-getter in the tournament. Warner enjoyed another successful campaign in the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, where he notched up two centuries and finished with 535 runs from 11 matches to top score for Australia.
