Fans on Twitter were elated in joy after veteran Australian opener David Warner smashes a double century in his 100th Test. They lauded the batter for his staggering effort and silenced all the critics, saying never to write him off.
David Warner scores double century in his 100th Test
In what has been his 100th Test, Australia opener David Warner has made the most of it. The southpaw scored a double century in 254 balls against South Africa in the second Test of the series at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
Coming to the match, Warner was under a lot of heat for his poor performances. But he silenced all his critics and played one of his best innings. He was down with the cramps in Australia’s heat but he didn’t stop as he batted brilliantly to reach the milestone.
Warner first reached his century in 144 balls and then paved his way into his third double hundred. The southpaw looked classy to the eyes and found gaps on every corner of the G. He batted in the usual aggressive way and also smashed 16 fours and 2 sixes.
Warner retired hurt on 200 runs as badly as he cramped up and was helped away off the field. His double ton will now answer all the questions regarding his captaincy, his place in the team and his waning form.

If he returns, Warner needs 18 to equal Root, 19 to go past him.
