Australian cricketer David Warner, who’s still active in the T20 circuit after retiring from international cricket has taken over Indian cricketer Virat Kohli. He became the fifth-loftiest non-scorer in T20 cricket.
During London Spirit’s clash with Manchester Originals in ‘The Hundred’ competition in England, Warner achieved this corner. The cricketer scored a fine 7 off 51 balls, hitting 12 fours and a six with a strike rate above 139. Despite this inconceivable performance, London Spirits fell abruptly of 164-run target set by Manchester Originals. Benefactions from Phil Salt (31 off 20 balls, 4 fours, 1 six), Ben McKinney (29 off 12 balls, 2 fours, 3 sixes), and Jos Buttler (46 off 37 balls, 3 fours, 2 sixes) powered Manchester to the aggregate.
