Test Cricket: When the T20 World Cup begins next month, Australia’s star hitter David Warner, who was instrumental in their victory the year before, will lead the team’s title defence at home. Warner has been a pillar of the Australian squad across all forms for almost ten years, but many were taken aback when he made his Test debut because he had never participated in a first-class match before. Warner made history by becoming the first Australian cricketer in 132 years to play in a Test match before a domestic first-class debut.
During a discussion of his cricket career, Warner recounted how former India batsman Virender Sehwag was one of the first to recognise his potential in the game’s longest format.
Warner admitted that he was taken aback when Sehwag informed him that he would make a strong Test player after playing under Sehwag’s leadership in the IPL.
Warner claimed to FoxSports.com.au that Sehwag informed him, “You’ll be a better Test cricketer than what you would be a T20 player,” after watching him play me a few times while I was in Delhi.
“I basically replied, “Mate, I have yet to participate in a first-class game,” as I turned to face him. However, he asserted, “All the fielders are gathered around the bat; you’re still going to hit the ball if it’s in your zone.” You’ll have plenty of chances to score runs. You must always respect the good ball, but you must also consistently punish the ball you consistently punish “Added he.
Warner has played 96 Tests, 138 ODIs, and 91 T20 Internationals so far, scoring over 15,000 runs internationally.
