(Watch) Pakistan gifts David Warner a Babar Azam’s jersey signed by all players.
In the final appearance of his Test cricket career, esteemed Australian opener David Warner bid farewell to the field during Day 4 of the 3rd Test against Pakistan in Sydney. The left-handed batsman received applause and gestures of camaraderie from all Pakistani players.
During the post-match presentation ceremony, Shan Masood presented David Warner with Babar Azam’s jersey as a parting gift. This special jersey was signed by all the current Pakistan players. Touched by the thoughtful gesture, Warner expressed his gratitude, saying “Inshallah.”
Here is the video of Captain Shan Masood gifting a jersey to David Warner on his last Test Match.
While David Warner’s farewell may not have unfolded as a fairytale, it came remarkably close. Scoring a noteworthy 57 runs, Warner played a pivotal role in guiding Australia to an eight-wicket victory over Pakistan in his final test match. This triumphant conclusion marked the end of his illustrious 112-test career, concluding as a winner on his home ground.
As Australia needed a mere 11 runs to secure its third consecutive victory in the three-test series, and with Warner having the opportunity to score the winning runs, he was unfortunately dismissed lbw off the bowling of Sajid Khan. Despite not achieving the storybook ending, Warner walked off the Sydney Cricket Ground to a standing ovation, graciously waving to the appreciative crowd.
