Top 5 openers in ODIs going into the Champions Trophy

#1 David Warner

Warner is, undoubtedly, the best opening batsman currently in the game

The diminutive but powerful David Warner has been a run machine for Australia in all formats. But it is in the ODIs that he revelled way above the rest with a mind-blowing nine hundreds since 2016.

He is a great striker of the ball and is particularly good at intimidating bowlers with his flat batted shots. Warner has made runs in all conditions and was an unstoppable force in ODIs in the last few months.

A strike rate of 106.94 and 29 sixes since 2016 makes him one of the most dangerous opening batsmen. He is also the highest run-scorer in the format since 2016 with 1755 runs in 28 games at an average of 65.00.
