People were questioning David Warner's ability to score runs freely before this match and he replied in style by scoring a brilliant 166 runs. Even though he hadn't played international cricket for a year, he looked in fine touch and Twitterati couldn't stop praising him for the effort.

Brief Scores: Australia 381/5 in 50 overs (David Warner 166, Usman Khawaja 89; Soumya Sarkar 3-58) vs Bangladesh

Insane form!

Took a long gap, Came into the #CWC19 without playing any international cricket! Thrashing like he wasn't gone anywhere 👏 #AUSvBAN https://t.co/CNOi1ilyk5

Made it look easy!

Top stuff from Warner. At this rate, 350 could be on and that was improbable at one stage. Will be a far tougher chase for Bangladesh than the one against the West Indies

Numero uno!

David Warner's 150+ scores in World Cups:

Dedicated to all the haters out there!

From trolling Warner for getting a "slow" hundred, people are quietly busy preparing smartass tweets to congratulate him on his POTENTIAL 200 including all the jazz about ball tampering, unfair treatment, him being the villain and what not. Smart people, I must say. #AUSvBAN
