David Warner Overtakes Virat Kohli in Elite T20 Century List After BBL Masterclass
Australian opener David Warner has achieved a significant T20 milestone, surpassing Royal Challengers Bangalore star Virat Kohli in the all-time list for most T20 centuries. Warner reached his tenth career T20 hundred during the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26 season, moving past Kohli's nine centuries.
Warner's monumental unbeaten knock of 110 came during the BBL season, marking his eighth century in the current edition of the tournament—a new BBL record. While Kohli remains one of the most prolific run-scorers in IPL history, Warner's recent form highlights the intense competition among global T20 specialists to secure these elite batting records. The milestone underscores Warner's enduring power and consistency in the shortest format, even as he competes in leagues outside the IPL.
This achievement sets a high bar for other top-order batters globally and provides a fresh talking point ahead of the next IPL season, where both players will look to add to their impressive career tallies.
