The conclusion of the third Test in Pakistan‘s tour to Australia not only brought an end to the match but also marked the poignant farewell of David Warner from Test cricket. Having been an integral part of the Australian team for nearly a decade, Warner’s left-handed prowess and exceptional skills have left an indelible mark on the cricketing world.
Pakistan’s token of respect to David Warner
Following the SCG clash in which Australia registered a stellar eight-wicket victory and triumphed the series with a clean sweep (3-0), Pakistan’s captain Shan Masood presented Warner with a jersey belonging to the prolific Babar Azam as a gesture of respect and admiration. Notably, the jersey was signed by the members of Pakistan’s squad. This symbolic exchange highlighted the camaraderie among players and underscored the profound impact Warner has had on the global cricketing fraternity.

David Warner’s illustrious test career
Warner’s Test career is a testament to his remarkable prowess as a top-order batter. Amassing a total of 8786 runs in 205 innings, his consistency and ability to convert starts into substantial scores have been instrumental for the Australian cricket team. With an impressive tally of 26 centuries, the latter has etched his name among the elite run-scorers in the longest format of the game. Among his many notable innings, Warner’s unforgettable knock of 335 not out against Pakistan in 2019 will be etched in the annals of cricket history.
Australia marks a comfortable win at SCG
Starting from where they left off on Day 3, the Aussie bowling attack did not waste much time on Day 4 and eventually bundled up their guests on a mere score of 115. It was Warner (57) who then took charge with the willow alongside Marnus Labuschagne (62) to seal a memorable victory for the hosts.
