Warner made this new feat in the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan. He played an innings of 38 runs in the first innings of the Melbourne Test.

Ricky Ponting is regarded as a legendary cricketer for Australia. As he excelled as a captain, he performed equally well with the bat. That is why he scored 27, 368 runs in all formats of Australia.

It is almost impossible to break his record in batting. But Warner set a new record in the Boxing Day Test. Steve Waugh was the second-highest run-scorer for Australia after Ponting.

This time, David Warner has come to the second place behind him. Warner would have had to wait until the second innings to set the record. At the beginning of the innings, Abdullah missed his catch at slip from Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Even though his innings was not big, he set a record. Warner touched this milestone in the 16th over of the innings by Hasan Ali. Warner's innings ended with 38 runs.

Currently, he has 18,515 runs in three formats. Steve Waugh has 18, 496 runs. He will not touch Ricky Ponting even if he gets to second place. This Australian opener will make retirement from the Test format with the series against Pakistan.
