Australia batsman David Warner made a grand comeback into the scheme of affairs when he took the cricket world by a storm in 2019. Warner, the former vice-captain of Australia, came back stronger than ever from the infamous 'Sandpapergate' ban and treated his supporters with some beautiful performances with the bat. Although he struggled in the Ashes 2019, Warner returned to his best later in the year when he smashed 335* against Pakistan in the Adelaide Test.
