"Everytime you write off David Warner, he comes back stronger" - Fans erupt as Warner enters record books with double hundred in 100th Test

David Warner created history on Tuesday, December 27, by becoming just the second player in Test cricket history to score a double-hundred in his 100th match. The southpaw joined former England skipper Joe Root on this elite list, with Root achieving the feat in his 100th Test against India in Chennai back in 2021.There was a lot of talk about Warner's future, especially in the Test format, as he suffered a string of low scores coming into the Boxing Day Test against South Africa. Prior to the ongoing Test summer, Warner didn't have a hundred to his name in the longest format in three years.The opener was also in the news for the withdrawal of his application to request Cricket Australia to lift his leadership ban after Sandpapergate. However, he has now returned to form in spectacular fashion with a stunning double century.Fans on Twitter hailed David Warner for showing why he is still one of the best in the business despite all the talk about his decline in international cricket.
