David Warner picks his greatest finisher of all time

Australia’s attacking opening batsman David Warner recently got in a fun chat with Jio cinema ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023 and played a fun game of rapid fire with the team. Warner got to talk about Indian culture, the famous personalities he would like to work with in the future, and some fun interactions related to Cricket.

Warner was asked multiple questions, and one question and answer that gained wide recognition was when Warner was asked to name the greatest finisher in the game of all time. Without any second thought, Warner quickly answered that it was India’s former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He said, “For me, it’s MS Dhoni”, in a second. 

David Warner was also asked to name his idols while he was growing up and wanted to play cricket, to which he said, “For me, Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting and Adam Gilchrist were my idols. I wanted to play how they played the game. I wanted to be a leg spinner, Gilchrist was an opening dasher and Ricky Ponting – one of our best cricketers ever.”

George Bailey on David Warner’s spectacular form ahead of ODI World Cup

Notably, David Warner has made a strong comeback in the Australian team with a spectacular former head of the ODI World Cup, 2023. Recently, during Australia’s tour of South Africa, David Warner played crucial knocks for the team with a strike rate of 121.18 while for Australia’s tour of India bettered his strike rate to 127.78. 

While discussing David Warner’s performances Australia’s national selector and former cricketer George Bailey said, “Not just in the Australian team, but around the world, these are the tournaments that the best players build themselves up for and get excited about. That’s the ultimate challenge for them to not only prove how good they are individually but also to help their team get some really exciting success. So (I’m) not surprised that he’s hit the ground running over here with the enthusiasm you’d expect from ‘Davey’ and playing really well.”
