5 Batsmen who are overshadowed by current fab five

2. David Warner

Just like Rohit Sharma, even David Warner also finds himself in a similar boat. Ever since he made his prolific debut in 2009 against South Africa in the shortest format, the left-handed batsman since then has been an established entity in all three formats. Not to forget he is also one of the pioneers who had earnestly exerted himself into the events of T20 cricket especially at a time when the shortest format was yet to achieve its full glory.

His veritable class is best witnessed in the longest format where he has played more than 85 Test matches and has scored more than seven thousand runs. By batting at an average of more than 48, the left-hander has amassed a total of 24 centuries and currently ranks ninth in the Australian list of most centuries being scored by a player. In ODI cricket, he has only played 128 matches and averages almost 46 with his bat. In terms of hundreds, he is only second (18) to former legendary batsman Ricky Ponting for Australia.

His T20I record also exhibits a similar story, wherein the 34-year-old has amassed more than 2000 runs under his belt. But despite being such an accomplished commodity for his national team, Warner has commonly got shaded by his peer Steve Smith.
