WATCH: David Warner gets standing ovation from crowd as he walks back for one last time in Test cricket

David Warner has finally ended his illustrious career after scoring a fifty in his final test match on Saturday. The left-handed batter also decided to retire from the ODI format as well. The Southpaw played a knock of 57 runs in his final test innings and walked back to the pavilion of his home ground for the one last time. He received a standing ovation from the crowd as he walked off the field after getting dismissed on Day 4 of the third Test against Pakistan. 

Australia defeated Pakistan by eight wickets to win the series 3-0. After Pakistan was bowled out for 115 in Warner's last Test match, Australia needed 130 to win the series. The crowd erupted in cheers when the first player took the field, and the visiting team honoured him with a guard of honour. In Australia's second innings, Usman Khawaja, the opener, was the other wicket to go.

Warner was reunited with his baggy green cap which had gone missing ahead of his farewell Test. The baggy green cap was found with a bag at the Australian cricket team’s hotel in Sydney. The batter ended his test career with 26 centuries and 37 half-centuries scoring more than eight thousand runs in the traditional format of the game.

I followed in his footsteps: David Warner

After getting back the cap he said, "Hi everyone, I am very pleased and relieved to let you all know that my baggy greens have been found, which is great news. Thanks to all involved and I am extremely grateful. Qantas, the freight company, our hotels and team management. Thank you."

Post-match he delivered a farewell speech, "Massive part of your life and without their support, you can't do what you do. I owe credit to my parents for giving me a beautiful and great upbringing. My brother Steve, and I followed in his footsteps. And then Candice came along and sort of got me in line. We've had a beautiful family and 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. But thank you, Candace, for what you've done. You mean the world to me, and I appreciate it. I think it'd be quite emotional to watch the guys go out there and not play and knowing that I was able to come out here and do what I could do." Warner was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
