Australia opener David Warner ended his Test career on Saturday (Jan 6) with a fifty (57) in his last innings, helping Australia win the third and final match in Sydney by eight wickets&nbsp; and culminate&nbsp;yet another clean sweep over Pakistan. Following an emotional send-off from the crowd and even all Pakistan players on field rushing to greet&nbsp;him on&nbsp;the occasion, Warner opened up on how he wants to be remembered as a cricketer.

Much like how he had played and approached his game since emerging onto the international scene as a ‘nobody’, Warner said he wants to be remembered as someone who was exciting, entertaining and had put a smile on everyone’s face (with his exploits with the bat (mostly) and some time with his TikTok videos too).&nbsp;

A successful batter across formats at a position he batted regularly, Warner has the most centuries for an opener in international cricket, even ahead of the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. Warner said he hopes his kids follow his footsteps and stay as inclined towards playing Tests as he was.

"[Would like to be remembered as] exciting, entertaining, and I hope I put a smile on everyone's face with the way that I played, and hopefully, the young kids out there can follow in my footsteps. White-ball cricket to Test cricket. It's the pinnacle of our sport. So keep working hard to play the red-ball game because it's entertaining as well,” Warner told the host broadcaster after Australia’s eight-wicket win at the SCG.

Meanwhile, since his red-ball debut in 2011 against New Zealand in the famous Hobart Test, Warner played 111 more Tests, scoring 8786 runs at an average of 44.59. His career-best score of 335* came against Pakistan in 2019 at the Adelaide Oval.&nbsp;

Although Warner had barely missed any Tests during his 12-year-old career, not having him walking down the aisle for the home series against the West Indies (starting on January 17) would feel a bit empty for all cricket fans.

Sharing his thoughts on watching that series from the sidelines, Warner said,&nbsp;"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. But as I just mentioned you got a great bunch of cricketers here. We are all almost over 30 years of age. So as time goes by, we're not getting younger, but this team, they're energetic, they're world-class and they're a great bunch of guys."

AUS v PAK: ‘Hope I put a smile on everyone’s face’ – Retiring David Warner on his Test career

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain David Warner on Wednesday achieved a few milestones in T20 cricket during his 57-run knock against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021.<o:p></o:p>

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Warner played a watchful knock of 57 off 55 deliveries and in the process, touched a couple of landmarks. The Australian opener took 47 deliveries to touch the 40-run mark as he completed 10,000 runs in T20 cricket.<o:p></o:p>

Warner became only the fourth player to complete 10,000 runs in the shortest format of the game as he joined the likes of Chris Gayle (13839 runs) and Kieron Pollard (10694) and Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik (10488).

Warner brought up his half-century with a huge six and with the shot towards the long-off region, the SRH skipper completed 200 sixes in the IPL.<o:p></o:p>

The southpaw also became the first SRH player to score 4,000 runs in IPL in what has been a legendary career. Interestingly, it was an uncanny knock by Warner, who is known for his explosive brand of cricket. During his stay at the crease, Warner struggled to time the ball and depended more on singles and doubles.<o:p></o:p>

Warner, with his half-century, also completed 50 IPL fifties.<o:p></o:p>

SRH went on to score 171/3 in 20 overs, courtesy Kane Williamson’s blistering knock of 26 off 10 laced with four boundaries and a six as the Kiwi played the field in the last two overs helped by a four-ball 10-run cameo by Kedar Jadhav.<o:p></o:p>
