In his second set of 50 ODIs, which began from January 2015, he has amassed 2678 runs at 59.51 with 12 centuries. He has converted 12 of his 18 fifties into centuries in this period. In his first 50 ODIs, he had converted only two of his 12 fifties into hundreds. No player has more runs or hundreds in ODIs since 2015 than Warner.
