Currently playing for London Spirit in The Hundred, the 38-year-old is in top form, smashing back-to-back half-centuries.
In his 419th T20 appearance on August 11 against Manchester Originals, Warner scored a match-winning 70, surpassing his close friend Virat Kohli to become the fifth-highest run-scorer in T20 history. Warner now has 13,545 runs, just two more than Kohli’s 13,543.
The veteran opener is steadily closing in on Chris Gayle’s record tally of 14,562 runs and is only 16 runs shy of overtaking Pakistan’s Shoaib Malik for fourth place on the list.
If his current form continues, Warner could soon move even higher in the elite run-scorers’ rankings.
