#1 David Warner
David Warner is the talisman of Australian cricket, and the southpaw has been remarkable in all forms of the game since making his debut in 2009. Warner did not feature in a single first-class game before he made his debut.
He made his Test debut in 2011 and has 18 Test tons to his credit. In the 2012/13 tour of India, Warner was deemed a failure. He could score only 195 runs after featuring in all the 4 Test matches.
Warner scored one fifty in the tour and his highest score was just 71 and his average in the tour was an embarrassing 24.37. Since then, a lot of things have changed. Warner is now the vice-captain of the Australian side and is often in the news because of his match-winning knocks.
The Australian has developed into one of the most important players for his team in all formats of the game. The fiery left-hander will be looking forward to hammer the Indians in a series where no one has given the Aussies a chance.
