David Warner etched his name into the history books by surpassing former captain Aaron Finch to become the highest run-scorer for Australia in the T20I format. During Australia's T20 World Cup campaign opener against Oman, Warner didn't adopt the high-risk, high-reward approach and took his time to settle on the tricky surface. Warner walked back with a score of 56(51), glistened with six boundaries and a sole maximum. He has 3,155 runs in 104 matches to his name and is the highest run scorer in the shortest format of cricket.

Gavaskar said that he was surprised by the decision. Thus far, the chinaman had been speculated as a nailed-on starter for Team India in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
