David Warner
When David Warner walked out to open Australia's batting in the first 2017/18 Ashes Test at the Gabba on Friday, he was accompanied by debutant Cameron Bancroft. Bancroft is Warner's 10th opening partner in last six years and it speaks volumes about Warner's capabilities as a Test opener.
Although the vice-captain has failed to click as an opening partner, he has flourished as an opening Test batsman. In 44 Tests that Warner has played in last four years, he has scored 4304 runs at an average of 53.13.
Since Tendulkar's retirement, Warner scored 17 tons and 16 fifties with 253 against New Zealand, being his highest score in five-day cricket that came in 2015.
