In a stunning display of cricketing prowess, Australian superstar David Warner shattered records as he notched up his 46th century as an opening batter in international cricket. This remarkable feat places him ahead of the cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar, who previously held the record.

Warner’s exceptional century came during Australia’s second clash of the five-match series against South Africa. The left-handed batsman’s incredible innings included 12 fours and three sixes, and he reached the century mark in just 85 deliveries. This performance underlines Warner’s dominance in the opening slot across all formats of the game.

His record-breaking century was not the only highlight of the first innings. Warner also achieved the milestone of scoring 6000 runs as an opener in ODIs, doing so in the fourth-fastest time in the format. This achievement reaffirms his status as one of the world’s premier opening batters.

However, Warner’s journey to this remarkable century was not without its challenges. In the previous match, he was dismissed for a duck, putting him under pressure to perform in the second ODI. Warner rose to the occasion in style, scoring a brilliant 106 off 93 balls.
