Australia v New Zealand - 2nd Test: Day 1
David Warner celebrates his ton with a leap

HIGHEST RATING: 880 (December 13, 2014)

HIGHEST RANKING: 3 (July 20, 2014)

It has been an incredible journey for David Warner. From being a T20 specialist to one of Test cricket's greats, Warner's rise has been nothing short of extraordinary. Warner has played 71 Tests and has scored 6146 runs in his career with 21 hundreds. Only Langer and Hayden have scored more hundreds as an opener for Australia

Warner's highest rating of 880 came after he scored twin hundreds against India at Adelaide which was good enough to earn him the 4th spot in the Test rankings behind Sangakkara, Chanderpaul and de Villiers.

Warner's highest ranking of 3 came a couple of series ago after he scored a 100 against Pakistan in the UAE.

Warner is only 31 and is expected to get better, and while nothing is guaranteed in life and sport, it will be a major surprise if he never gets to the top.
