Warner's strong play in the 2015 Cricket World Cup was sustained. He helped the Australian cricket team to the best team total in any World Cup with a score of 178 runs against Afghanistan his highest ODI total.

The ICC nominated Warner to the World ODI XI in 2016 and 2017. In 2016 Warner scored more runs in ODIs than in Tests. During the 2016 ODI series against Sri Lanka Warner took the helm of his squad for the first time. He was named the team's captain for the Trans-Tasman Tri-Series in 2017–18.

Warner was chosen for the team for the 2019 World Cup in April 2019. He made history by becoming the first cricketer to achieve two 150+ run innings during the World Cup. During the competition he also scored 1300 runs in international cricket. He finished the competition as Rohit Sharma's closest rival in terms of runs scored.

David Warner: Test Cricket

In 2011 Warner faced New Zealand in his first Test. He scored his first test century ten days after making his test debut. He was included in the World Test XI by the ICC as a result of his 2014 performance. Warner made 418 runs in the 2015 Ashes but Australia lost the series 3-2. He was once again selected for the ICC World XI in 2015. Warner completed 5 000 test runs in 2016.

Cameron Bancroft was observed roughening up one side of the ball with sandpaper on March 24 2018 during the third Test of the series against South Africa. Bancroft was discovered to have participated in the event along with captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner. At the post-game news conference Bancroft and Steve Smith admitted to tampering with the ball and Smith also acknowledged that the leadership group was responsible for the plan.

The Australian team's vice-captain and captain were forced to resign. Smith Warner and Bancroft were accused of arguing the game on March 27 2018 and they were suspended and sent home. Warner was held accountable for creating the scheme to tamper with the ball and giving Bancroft the necessary instructions.

He was also held accountable for lying to the match authorities and failing to freely disclose his involvement. Warner will not be considered for the team captaincy in the future after receiving a 12-month ban from all local and international cricket. Warner was chosen in July 2019 for the 2019 Ashes team.

Ashes 2019 bowler Stuart Broad of England had Warner completely at sea with his round-the-wicket angle and as a result Warner had a terrible return to Test cricket scoring just 95 runs in 10 innings. In 10 innings Broad struck out Warner seven times in total.

The southpaw set an unfavorable record by scoring the fewest runs in a five-match series by an opener breaking John D'Arcy's previous mark of 136 runs in 10 innings set against England in 2015. After he failed in England Warner's position came under intense criticism but after another successful home season against Pakistan and New Zealand he quieted his critics.

Warner wrote history at the Adelaide Oval in November 2019 when he hit his first triple-hundred 335* against Pakistan. His 335 runs still rank as the tenth-highest individual total in Test history. It is also the second-highest individual score from an Australian batter surpassing Mark Taylor's (334*) and former captain Sir Don Bradman's (334) by one.

Warner followed it up at the SCG in January 2019 against the BlackCaps with another outstanding hundred (111*). Warner missed the first two Tests in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2020–21 due to injury but he made it back for the final two matches despite still having some recovery to go. He struggled against a relentless Indian attack managing only scores of 5 13 1 and 48 as was to be expected.

The southpaw achieved a few 90s during the home Ashes in 2020–2021 but as has been the case with Warner throughout his Test career the former vice–captain had trouble in the Asian tours of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Warner had a 33.8 test average in Pakistan but that number dropped to 21.33 in Sri Lanka for the two-match series.

David Warner: T20I Career

On January 11 2009 he made his Twenty20 debut against New Zealand. His 89 was the second-highest score in his international Twenty20 debut. In T20I history the starting duo of Warner and Shane Watson has enjoyed the greatest amount of success. They are the only opening pairs in T20I with more than 100 runs scored. Warner is the first batsman from Australia to score 1 500 T20I runs. In 2016 Warner led the team to a 2-0 victory against Sri Lanka in a T20I series.

Warner though failed to adjust to the middle-order position during his nightmare T20 World Cup campaign in India. The powerful batter scored just 38 runs at 9.50/108.57 in 4 innings.

During a tri-series match against New Zealand in Auckland's Eden Park in 2018 Warner led Australia's effort to lead them to a record-breaking run chase of 245. He ultimately guided Australia to the championship which strengthened his argument for being named his country's permanent skipper in the limited-overs formats. But those aspirations were dashed when he was implicated in the Newlands ball-tampering controversy and was permanently barred from leadership positions by CA.

After serving the 12-month suspension Warner continued to play a crucial role in Australia's T20I batting lineup. His greatest achievement in this format came in the 2021 World Cup where he was named Player of the Tournament for helping Australia to their first championship.

Warner scored 289 runs at 48.16/146.70 in 7 innings including 3 50+ scores one of which came in the championship game against the BlackCaps (53 off 38). But so far in the 2022 T20 World Cup the left-handed opener hasn't been able to repeat his success. Warner has only scored 19 runs at a 6.33/82.6 average in 3 innings.

He was named the team's captain in 2015 and by the season's end he had scored the most runs. He guided the group to its first IPL championship in 2016. In the 2017 campaign he received the orange cap once more.

He received an IPL 2018 suspension as a result of the ball-tampering incident. For the 2019 season Warner was back with Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Warner put up 548 runs at 39.14/134.64 with 4 50+ scores in 2020 continuing his impressive season.

However the Australian opener in the 2021 edition was finally defeated by the law of averages. Midway through the season Warner was suddenly dropped from the playing XI in addition to being relieved of his captaincy. He was struggling for runs and SRH was losing games one after another.

During the second part of the IPL Warner did return to the starting XI but after a few missteps he was once again benched. In the end SRH released him in advance of the mega-auction in 2022.

He was purchased by the JSW co-owned side for INR 6.25 Crores in the auction and he later returned to his original franchise Delhi Capitals. The 36-year-old was extremely productive in 2022 scoring 432 runs in 12 innings at 48/150.52 with five 50+ scores.

David Warner’s Runs and Stats

David Warner’s Controversy

Australia began 2018 on a high note by winning back the Ashes but the ball-tampering scandal shattered that optimism almost three months later.

In March's Cape Town Test match against South Africa three players—Steve Smith David Warner and Cameron Bancroft—participated in a scheme to change the ball's condition. As a result they were given suspensions.

Numerous prominent Australian cricketers also quit their employment and an examination of the organization's culture came to the harsh conclusion that it was arrogant.

Smith and vice-captain Warner were swiftly removed from their positions for the rest of the Test and then along with Bancroft they were suspended and sent home as Australia struggled to come to terms with the scandal. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called the episode a shocking disappointment and urged Cricket Australia to take decisive action.

A series of harsher penalties were to come including a 12-month ban from the IPL for Smith Warner and Cricket Australia which persuaded the BCCI to do the same and a nine-month suspension for Bancroft.

Warner was informed that he would never again be considered for a leadership position within the team after Cricket Australia determined that he was the one who first proposed the ball-tampering scheme.Additionally CA stated that Smith would not be qualified for a leadership position until at least 12 months after his suspension expires on March 29 2019 due to his failure to foil the conspiracy while being aware of it.

Bancroft was given a lighter suspension than his contemporaries but he also missed out on a county contract as Somerset decided to break their December 2015 agreement with him.
