So that is all from David Warner in his Test career. The 37-year-old pocket dynamo opener got a fairytale ending as he scored an entertaining 57 runs in his last Test innings, helping Australia chase down the target of 130 runs at his home ground, the SCG, against Pakistan.

Pat Cummins’ side sealed another home whitewash over Pakistan and continued their dominance in world cricket. Australia also have moved to the top of the ICC Test team rankings, displacing India, and also are on the top of the WTC points table.

David Warner ended his Test career with 112 caps, scoring 8786 runs at an average of 44 with 26 centuries and 3 double centuries.

The left-hander was dismissed by off-spinner Sajid Khan in his last Test innings. As he walked back to a standing ovation and a huge round of applause from the SCG crowd, Warner handed over his helmet and gloves to a young child near the boundary line.

After hugging Steve Smith, who was standing at the boundary line as a gesture to allow Warner to take in all the applause and wave his bat to the crowd for one last time in Test cricket, Warner subtly gave his helmet and gloves to a young boy near the SCG staircase. The child was elated at receiving this special gift from one of Australia’s greatest-ever batters.

Speaking after Australia wrapped up an 8-wicket win and the series, David Warner sent out an inspirational message to the young kids to always aim to play Test cricket. Warner cited his own example – that he was a white-ball monster at the start of his career, but transitioned superbly to red-ball game.

David Warner said: “Hopefully the young kids out there can follow in my footsteps, white ball cricket to Test cricket, it’s the pinnacle of our sport. So keep working hard and play the red ball game which is entertaining as well. Thanks everyone.”
