David Warner Celebrating his 14th Century

Australia opener David Warner celebrated his 100th one-day international by smashing his 14th century in the format on Thursday.

Warner reached his hundred with a boundary against Kedar Jadhav in the ongoing fourth ODI against India at the M Chinnaswamy stadium.

He is the first Australian to score 100 in his 100th match. Overall he is the eighth player to achieve the milestone in one-day internationals after Gordon Greenidge, Chris Cairns, Mohammad Yousuf, Kumar Sangakkara, Chris Gayle, Marcus Trescothik and Ramnaresh Sarwan.

The 30-year-old has been inconsistent in this five-match series with scores of 25, 1 and 42 in the previous three games but a brilliant batting pitch combined with the small dimensions at the Chinnaswamy helped him a great deal as he batted freely from the word go.

Warner reached the three-figure mark in just 103 balls with the help of three sixes and 10 boundaries at a strike rate of exactly 100.

He was eventually dismissed for 124 by Jadhav in the 35th over, caught at long on by Axar Patel with Australia at 231/1.

Warner's opening partner Aaron Finch was also batting superbly and was looking good for his second successive hundred but was dismissed six short of the three-figure mark by Umesh Yadav with the Aussies 231/2 in 35.5 overs.
