David Warner ended his barren run in Test cricket as he smashed a century in the ongoing 2nd Test against South Africa on Tuesday, December 27. Playing in his 100th Test, the Australian opener made the occasion a tad bit special as he smashed 150 runs at the MCG.
Warner's wife Candice and his two daughters were also in attendance and their reaction was worth watching after Warner notched his 25th Test ton and punched the air, in jubilation.
It had been three years since Warner last scored a Test century, coming close on multiple occasions but it just wasn't happening for him. Of late, the captaincy issues have affected the swashbuckling opener who recently penned a heartfelt note on Instagram.
