Headline: David Warner Blasts Century in BBL After 14-Year Drought

New Delhi: Veteran batsman David Warner delivered a stunning performance in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26, smashing an unbeaten 130 off 65 balls for the Sydney Thunder against the Hobart Hurricanes. Warner’s explosive innings, which included 11 fours and 9 sixes, came at a strike rate of 200. This marks his first BBL century in 14 years and his first T20 century in six years. With this feat, Warner now has nine T20 centuries, equaling Virat Kohli’s record. Chris Gayle holds the record for most T20 centuries with 22.

The Sydney Thunder suffered an early setback, losing two wickets in the first over after being sent in to bat. However, Warner anchored the innings, first with a 66-run partnership with Sam Billings and then supported by Nick Maddinson, who retired out after scoring 30. Daniel Sams added a quick 14 runs. Warner’s outstanding century propelled Sydney Thunder to a total of 205/4 in their 20 overs.
