Warner’s entry into his final Test match was nothing short of spectacular, accompanied by his three daughters during the national anthem ceremony. The heartwarming sight prompted an eruption of applause from the entire stadium, including spectators, cricketers, and commentators alike.
Having made his international debut in January 2009, Warner’s career spanned 14 years, featuring impactful performances in T20s, ODIs, and Test cricket. Notably, he created a sensation in his T20 debut against South Africa, scoring a remarkable 89 runs off 43 balls.
