In 2020, the record for most runs in the last five overs was 60. That record was held by the same David Warner. This time, he surpassed his own limit. Against the Punjab Kings, Warner crossed that previous boundary once again.
The Australian batsman single-handedly dominated the death overs. In the last four overs, he started scoring rapidly. To help reach the total, he smashed 68 runs. To be precise, in the 15th over, he wasn’t at the crease. He started his onslaught from the 16th over. The Scoring Breakdown 16th Over: 2 runs (facing only 5 balls). 17th Over: The “Warner Storm” begins. 19th Over: He hits three massive sixes, collecting nearly 30 runs in the over. Final Over He hits 25 runs, including a boundary off the last ball.
Warner remained unbeaten at 90 runs off just 45 balls. His innings included 8 massive sixes and 7 boundaries. Every six he hit was a “sky-high” shot. With two massive sixes in the final over, he reached his milestone. David Warner has truly gone “haywire” (unstoppable) in this stadium.
