Australian opener David Warner is one of the most explosive batsmen in the world. The southpaw, who is known for his attacking approach, never shies from taking bowlers on. However, there have been a few bowlers who have cracked the code to dismiss David Warner. The bowler to have dismissed David Warner the most is England veteran pacer Stuart Broad, who has accounted for the Australian on 12 occasions.
