WATCH: Shan Masood presents David Warner signed jersey by team on his farewell test

Australian cricketer David Warner played his last test innings on Saturday as Australia beat Pakistan in the third and final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Southpaw has been one of the finest openers for the Aussies of this generation. He has played in 112 matches for the Aussies, scoring 8786 runs at an average of 44.59 with 26 centuries and 37 half-centuries.

The batter ended his career on a high note scoring a fifty in his last test innings of his career. He played a knock of 57 runs in and got a standing ovation as he walked back to the dugout for the one last time. After the game, Pakistan captain Shan Masood during the post-match ceremony did a heartwarming gesture for the batter as he gifted him a signed jersey from the team as a token of love and memory for the batter. 

Warner got back 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 and 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.

It'd be quite emotional to watch the guys go out there and not play: David Warner 

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."
