6,6,6,6,4,4.., strike rate of 169.23, Kavya Maran’s SRH former batter smashes fiery century, name is…
At 39 years young, David Warner is not just playing the game, he is rewriting the rules of longevity. While most cricketers are transitioning into commentary or coaching at his age, ‘The Bull’ is busy dismantling bowling attacks in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025-26.
On January 16, 2026, in the high-stakes Sydney Smash against the Sixers, Warner delivered a vintage masterclass that has the cricket world buzzing.
A Century for the Ages
Warner’s latest knock, a breathtaking 110 off just 65 balls, wasn’t just a hundred; it was a statement. Facing a star-studded Sixers attack that featured the return of Mitchell Starc, Warner held his nerve while wickets tumbled at the other end.
Warner reached his 100 in just 61 balls and hammered 11 fours and 3 massive sixes. While the rest of the Sydney Thunder lineup struggled to find rhythm, Warner’s blade looked like it was operating on a different frequency, guiding the team to a competitive 189/6.
The Statistical Dominance of Warner in 2026
Warner isn’t just having a good week, he’s having a historic year. In just the first two weeks of 2026, he has already notched up two BBL centuries.
| Date | Score | Balls | Opposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 3, 2026 | 130* | 65 | Hobart Hurricanes |
| Jan 5, 2026 | 67* | 51 | – |
| Jan 11, 2026 | 82 | 56 | Brisbane Heat |
| Jan 16, 2026 | 110* | 65 | Sydney Sixers |
Records Broken Tonight
With his 10th T20 Century, Warner has officially moved past Virat Kohli (9) to take the 3rd spot on the all-time list of most T20 hundreds (trailing only Chris Gayle and Babar Azam). At 39 years and 81 days, he remains the oldest player to score a BBL century. He now shares the record for the most BBL centuries (3) alongside Ben McDermott and Steve Smith.
