David Warner creates history, smashes 10th T20 century to surpass Virat Kohli on this elite list

Sydney Thunder batter David Warner brought up his third century in the ongoing season of the Big Bash League (BBL). The left-hand batter played a sensational knock of 110* against the Sydney Sixers to help his team post a fighting total of 189/6 on the board after 20 overs. The left-hand batter scored 11 boundaries and four towering sixes during his long stay on the crease.
