From IPL newbie to Test stalwart: David Warner bows out after writing his legend

Hindustan Times  

Had Delhi Daredevils managed to snag Moises Henriques ahead of the second season of the Indian Premier League in 2009, there is no gainsaying what shape David Warner’s international career would have taken. It took even more time – roughly two and a half years – for Australia’s selectors to be convinced Warner had what it took to succeed in Test cricket. Sehwag saw in Warner a kindred soul, an uncomplicated ball-basher whose batting wasn’t based around optimism and a song and a prayer, but an innate understanding of his strengths and, more importantly, his limitations. Encouraged by Sehwag’s pep talk, Warner trained his focus on the first-class game, made his Test debut in December 2011 and established himself over a dozen years as one of the finest openers, nay batters, to have come out of Australia.
