Star Australian cricketer David Warner announced his retirement from ODI cricket today. The left-handed batter played a big role in Australia’s 2015 and 2023 World Cup wins. He scored 6,932 runs in ODI cricket, registering 22 centuries.
David Warner has confirmed his retirement from the 50-over format, but at the same time, he also mentioned that he will consider playing in Champions Trophy 2025 if he is in good touch. Warner created many records during his ODI career, and here’s a list of five such records which might never be broken.
1. David Warner has the most 150s in ICC World Cup matches
Scoring a 150 at the grand stage of World Cup is the dream of every cricketer. However, not everyone can achieve it. Warner achieved the feat not just once or twice but thrice in his World Cup career.
2. David Warner has scored 150 against most opponents in ODIs
Another record of Warner and 150 is that he has recorded a score of 150 or more in an innings against six different teams. It shows how he dominated the teams in the 50-over format.
3. Most times back-to-back hundreds for Australia
Scoring back-to-back hundreds in the ODI format is quite challenging. However, Warner achieved this feat four times in his career, which is the most by any Australian batter.
4. Most times outscoring an opponent by an Australian
Outscoring an opponent means that the batter alone scores more runs than the rival team in an ODI match. David achieved this feat thrice, which is the most times for an Australian batter.
5. Most 250+ run partnerships in ODI cricket
Happy Retirement 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿 from ODI 💙
