David Warner is Australia’s vice-captain and one of the most destructive batsmen in modern-day cricket. His aggressive nature is one of his biggest strengths.

One of the hardest hitters of the cricket ball, Warner has displayed great consistency in the 50-over format in the last three years. He has averaged over 50 in each of the last three years (54.33, 63.09 and 58.88 in 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively). Adding to this, the rate at which he scores i.e. his strike-rate has remained over 100 in the last three years. Out of his 13 One-Day International centuries, nine have come since the beginning of 2016.

Australia rely heavily on Warner to give them a good start, especially in ODIs. He remains one of their key members and has displayed superb consistency in the last few years.
