Shan Masood presents Babar Azam's shirt signed by Pakistan players to David Warner in his farewell Test

The third and final Test of the series between Australia and Pakistan has been nothing short of a cliffhanger in Sydney. All the five days saw a see-saw battle between both the teams. However, this Test match was special for the "David Warner" reason. The veteran opener played his last match for his nation at his home ground. Moreover, he was able to have a fairytale finish by leading the batting and slamming a well-deserved fifty which led to victory.

After the match, in what was the true sportsmanship of the highest order, the Pakistan skipper Shan Masood gifted Warner with a signed jersey of batting stalwart Babar Azam. Notably, the jersey was signed by the whole Pakistan team. The visiting side requested Warner to come over to the stage during the post-match presentation to do the honours. Thereafter, Masood congratulated the southpaw on his contributions to the game and wished him luck in his future endeavours.

"I want to give a token of appreciation and a bit of gift for David Warner. Can you please come on the stage. Thank You So Much. We as a team thought of giving you Babar Azam shirt with signatures of all players and all the best for all the future endeavours," said Masood in the post-match presentation.

It is worth mentioning that David Warner displayed his vintage class and smacked a deserving fifty. On completion of the landmark in what was an emotional moment, he hugged his teammate Marnus Labuschagne amid a standing ovation from his fans and teammates as well. Eventually, this marked a fairytale finish to his Test career.

It's a dream come true, cap off what's been a great 18 months to 2 years: Warner

Now speaking of David Warner's emotional moment and a memorable farewell speech, the Australian said that it was a dream come true for him as his side won the final game of his Test career. Moreover, he was elated with the fact that he was able to put on a good performance in his last knock for Australia. Turning the page on Warner's career, the Southpaw featured in 112 Tests for his nation where he accumulated 8'786 runs with a decent average of 44.59. Not to forget that Warner also achieved a 'Triple hundred' with a best score of 335* against the same opponent, back in 2019.

In totality, the New South Wales-born scored 26 centuries along with 37 fifties before calling it a time on his career. Apart from that he has been among the few players in the world who have scored a century across all the formats of the game. Apart from winning the Test series against Pakistan, Warner had a stellar time of over two years with the team as they won several accolades with major ones being the World Test Championship winners along with the recently concluded ODI World Cup which took place in India.

“It's pretty much a dream come true. You win 3-0, cap off what's been a great 18 months to 2 years for the Australian cricket team. World Test Championship win, an Ashes series draw and then the World Cup. To come here and finish 3-0 is an outstanding achievement,” Warner signed off.
