Australia batter David Warner was the talk of the town on Tuesday (27 December) as he became only the second batter to smash a double century in his 100th Test. The southpaw was clear in his approach right from the start. Warner smashed as many as 16 boundaries and 2 sixes on his way to scoring a double century.
With Warner wreaking havoc in the middle, everyone showered praise on the veteran batter. The broadcasters of the Test series between Australia and South Africa also took part in praising Warner.
They showed the batter’s numbers in international cricket and how he has dominated in almost all three formats. But, in the process, they made a huge mistake. While showing Warner’s numbers in international cricket, they showed that the Australian cricketer has more than 16000 wickets. Well, clearly it was a mistake on their behalf as they showed ‘runs’ as ‘wickets’.
But who ignores mistakes these days? This picture went viral on social media with people enjoying Warner’s surreal numbers as a bowler.

While users took this mistake on a lighter note, Warner made his 100th Test special. He not only scored a century but converted it into a double century to get himself listed in an elite list where Joe Root was the only player. Meanwhile, on the back of Warner's inning, Australia have already posted a massive 386/3 in their first innings in reply to SA's 189. Steve Smith also scored a handy 85 while Travis Head (48*) is nearing another Test half-century.
