WATCH: David Warner walks off in whites for one last time as Pakistan team congratulate him
The Australia cricket team sealed a 3-0 series whitewash over Pakistan on Saturday owing to star batter David Warner’s magnificent innings of 57 runs of knock in his farewell Test at Sydney Cricket Ground. Notably, the left-handed batter’s performance was crucial to Australia’s winning chase of 130 runs, regardless of the fact that he didn’t get the chance to hit the game-winning runs as he lost his wickets in crucial time.
However, Marnus Labuschagne remained unbeaten with his 62 runs, which helped them win the last and final Test game by 8 wickets against Pakistan. Notably, David Warner was seen walking off the field in the whites for the last time. The 37-year-old cricketer received a standing ovation from his fans and teammates.

You win 3-0 and cap off what’s been a great 18 months to 2 years for the Australian cricket team: David Warner
“It’s pretty much a dream come true. You win 3-0 Test series and cap off what’s been a great 18 months to 2 years for the Australian cricket team. World Test Championship win, Ashes series draw and then the World Cup. To come here and finish 3-0 is an outstanding achievement. I’m proud to be with a bunch of great cricketers here. I felt happy and really proud. Australian cricket over the last decade or my career, I can’t thank them enough,” David Warner said after the win being quoted by Cricbuzz.
“All credits to my parents for giving me a beautiful and great upbringing, my brother Steve, I followed in his footsteps and then came along Candice and sort of got me in line. We’ve had a beautiful family. I cherish every moment I get with them. I love them to death and I’m not going to keep carrying on because I’ll get too emotional,” he added further.
