David Warner shattered a plethora of records with a triple hundred against Pakistan on the second day of the second Test — a day-night match — in Adelaide on Saturday.
The 33-year-old left-handed batsman became the leading run-scorer in the day-night Test cricket, going past Azhar Ali’s tally of 456 runs against the pink ball.
David Warner also concluded calendar year 2019 on a high as he surpassed Indian captain Virat Kohli to register the highest Test score in 2019. Virat Kohli had smashed an unbeaten knock of 254, including 33 boundaries and two sixes, in the second Test of the three-match series against South Africa in Pune last month. David Warner reached the magical triple figures in 389 balls, including 37 boundaries.
Warner bettered his own Test-best knock of 253 that he scored in 2015 against New Zealand in Perth.
Before the Adelaide Test, Warner had only 199 runs at an average of 24.87 to his name in day-night Test cricket.
