Top 10 left handed openers with most runs in Test cricket

#7 David Warner

David Warner

David Warner has arguably been the most destructive left-handed opener in Test cricket since the retirement of Matthew Hayden. The Aussie pocket dynamite has been in prolific run-scoring form over the last five seasons. The aggressive opener provides the ideal trust to the Baggy Greens up the order. Warner relishes fast pitches and has all the shots in his batting arsenal to unleash carnage against the best of bowling attacks.

After Hayden and Langer bid adieu to Test cricket, Warner has stood like an impregnable wall at the top of the Australian batting order. With over 6000 runs at an average of 49, Warner is on his way to establishing himself as one of the best left-handed opening batsmen in Test cricket.
