Candice Warner’s excitement held no bounds as her better half David Warner showcased his incredible batting prowess during the second ODI game against South Africa on Saturday. Warner smashed his way to his 20th ODI century in scintillating style, powering the Aussies to their fifth consecutive victory of the tour.

Furthermore, the dynamic Australian opener also managed to surpass legendary Sachin Tendulkar's record of the most number of centuries as an opener in international cricket. In addition, the 36-year-old has now become the first Australian opener to bag 20 ODI centuries under his belt and is only second to great Ricky Ponting in terms of most number of ODI centuries for Australia.

Candice took to her Instagram to celebrate his record-shattering ton. She shared a story featuring a picture of her husband in a vintage celebration mode, captioning it as a “Massive Achievement” along with “20th ODI 100” and “6000 ODI runs.”



Warner and Head teamed up nicely at the top to give Australia an electrifying start. The duo plundered 102 runs in just 10 overs thanks to some unbelievable power-hitting combined with controlled aggression. However, spinner Tabraiz Shamsi struck in the 12th over, dismissing Head and Marsh to bring South Africa temporarily back into the contest.

Despite the fall of quick wickets, Warner pushed on alongside Marnus Labuschagne to keep the scoreboard ticking. He eventually reached his remarkable century in the 30th over coming of just 85 balls. During his grueling innings, Warner had amassed 12 fours and 3 sixes.

His stay came to an end during the 33rd over as he was comprehensively deceived by a back of a length ball that stayed fractionally low. The ball eventually crashed into his off stump and he was finally dismissed on 106 by Phehlukwayo. Warner’s innings was crucial in helping Australia set up a stiff target which later proved way beyond the reach of the Proteas.
