Warner overtakes Virat, becomes 5th-highest run-getter in T20 cricket
Manchester [UK], August 12 (ANI): Australian veteran David Warner, who is still active in the T20 circuit following retirement from international cricket, overtook Indian legend Virat Kohli to become the fifth-highest run-getter in T20 cricket. Warner achieved this feat during his side, the London Spirit's match against Manchester Originals during the ongoing The Hundred competition in England. During the match, Warner played a big knock of 71 in 51 balls, with 12 fours and a six, striking at above 139. However, despite his efforts, his team fell short of the 164 set by Manchester, that made this total following knocks from Phil Salt (31 in 20 balls, with four boundaries and a six), Ben McKinney (29 in 12 balls, with two fours and three sixes) and Jos Buttler (46 in 37 balls, with three fours and two sixes). Now, in 419 T20 matches, Warner has scored 13,545 runs at an average of 36.80 and a strike rate of above 140, with eight centuries and 113 fifties, best score of 135*. This is Warner's first-ever The Hundred season, and he is the top run-getter with 150 runs in three matches at an average of 75.00, with a strike rate of 141.50 and two half-centuries. On the other hand, Indian icon Virat has scored 13,543 runs in 414 matches and 397 innings at an average of 41.92, a strike rate of 134.67, with nine centuries and 105 fifties, with a best score of 122*. The top run-getter in T20s is West Indies icon Chris Gayle, who revolutionised the format with his ferocious hitting and was its first big superstar. He has played 463 matches, scoring 14,562 runs in 455 innings at an average of 36.22, a strike rate of 144.75, with 22 centuries and 88 fifties and a best score of 175*. (ANI)

Michael Clarke Compares Yashasvi Jaiswal To Ex-India Opener, Says 'He's Going To...'
Last Updated: Since making his Test debut for India against the Windies in July 2023, Jaiswal has played 23 Tests and amassed a total of 2209 runs with the help of 6 centuries and 12 fifties. Former Australian captain and star middle-order batter Michael Clarke has praised young Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and said Team India have found their new 'Virender Sehwag" in him. Since making his Test debut for India against the West Indies in July 2023, Jaiswal has played all 24 matches for Team India and, with the help of six centuries and 12 half-centuries, amassed a total of 2209 runs. He scored 391 runs in the 2024-25 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia and amassed a total of 411 runs in five matches of the recently concluded Test series in England. In addition to that, in his first-ever Test series for India in India last year, he scored 712 runs in nine innings of five matches against the English team. Speaking on the Beyond23 Cricket Podcast, Clarke, who led the Australian men's cricket team to the ODI World Cup title win in 2015, said Jaiswal is a superstar, and a batter like him could become a successful opener if he continues playing the way he is now. 'The way he (Jaiswal) plays, with someone like him opening the batting, if all goes to plan and he has the career that we think he is going to have—and he is going to, because he is a superstar—it's going to be a lot like Sehwag," Clarke said. 'He is that risky top-order, aggressive batsman who sets the intent for your team style. You have got to accept that he is going to play some innings that you watch and go, 'Oh, what a superstar, what an amazing player,' like in the second innings (at Oval), but he is going to nick the occasional ball, get a low score and hit one to backward point or play a pull shot that will go straight up." Clarke, who finished his Test career with 8643 runs in 115 matches, said that Jaiswal will only get better with time and could become unstoppable. 'He will continue to get better, but the way he plays is like Sehwag. When Sehwag was on, he was unstoppable, but sometimes he got out playing the big cover drive and nicked it for a duck," he added. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
