Warner closed with a century on January 3, 2020, while he hammered 111* toward New Zealand.

He completed the 12 months of 2021 with 307 runs in eight innings over five looks at fits, averaging 38.37, two half-centuries, and the top score of 95. His 2022 numbers will be an awful lot smaller. Prior to this MCG appearance, Warner had only amassed 371 runs with half-centuries for an appalling average of 20.61.

Warner pulled the opening delivery of the damaging Kagiso Rabada's forty-fifth over of Australia's first innings to the first-class leg for four runs to attain three digits in runs for the first time in over three years. It was a special day for him to win his one-centesimal suit inside the longer layout and quit his century wait.

Virat Kohli, the big-name Indian hitter, tops this list with 72 tonnes, followed by Warner with 45. While Rohit Sharma and Steve Smith both have 41 masses, England's root is third with 44 centuries.

In ODIs, he has 20 centuries, and within the longer layout, he has 25. Sachin Tendulkar holds the lead with forty-five centuries, which he scored while opening the batting. Chris Gayle's 42 international centuries come as openers; he’s a legendary West Indies batsman.

Regarding the game, Australia's first innings are currently underway, and they presently have a slender lead over South Africa. South Africa, which had been given the chance to bat first by way of Australia, was dismissed for 189 runs. At 67/5, the Proteas were troubled, but wicketkeeper-batsman Kyle Verreynne (52) and Marco Jansen (59) put together a 112-run partnership to get the innings back on track. The Australian group's top bowler, Cameron Green, an all-arounder, completed with a 5/27. His five-wicket haul in a suit is a first for him. Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland each grabbed one wicket, at the same time as Mitchell Starc claimed two wickets.
