David Warner listed the 26th century of his Test career, and his first since December 2022, on the opening day of his farewell Test series against prominent red-ball rivals Pakistan at the Perth Stadium. The cricketer reached his landmark figure from just 125 balls, and celebrated his overdue Test hundred with his trademark leap.

During the Tea break, Warner acknowledged his century-plus opening partnership with Usman Khawaja, and signified his role as a top-order batsman for his country.

David Warner bludgeoned 14 boundaries and a six on his way to a 125-ball Test century against Pakistan on Day 1 of the opening Test match of their three-match home series.

The 37-year-old raced to his triple-digit score in just the 43rd over of the day with a boundary off Pakistan’s Test debutant Aamer Jamal. During the Tea break, Warner signified his role as an Australian opener and acknowledged his blistering partnership with Usman Khawaja. The cricketer also hoped to add more runs with new partner Steve Smith in the final session of the day. 

"Look, it's my job to come here and score runs for my team. From the get-go, I was on my way and along with Usman Khawaja, it was great to build up a partnership and put pressure on Pakistan. Now, I am in a partnership with Smith," Warner said. 


"It was just another Test hundred for Australia. Always feels great. We need to put enough runs on the board to give the bowlers to have something to bowl at. Yeah, if put in the right areas, the wicket looks a nice one. You can do nothing about the criticism, but you have to put your head down and get into your work. Nothing better than getting runs and silencing the critics," he added.


David Warner is set to retire from Tests following the conclusion of the ongoing series.

The legendary Australian announced his exit from the format earlier this year, with his final match set to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) between January 3 and January 7 next month.

As of now, Warner’s Test profile features over 8,600 runs across 200 innings with 26 tons and 36 half-centuries to his name.
