Warner has had tremendous success in the series against Pakistan.
Speaking on the same, Warner credited former Indian opener Virender Sehwag, who had encouraged him during his IPL stint with Delhi Daredevils (DD), by saying that he would become a better Test player than a T20 player.
"I said 'you're out of your mind, I've not played many First-Class games'," Warner had wondered.

Point to prove

It is to be noted that Warner is made his return to international cricket this year following a one-year suspension, owing to his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal during the Cape Town Test last year.
He is playing his first Test series at home since then, as he handed Aussies a terrific win.
Furthermore, he failed to fire in the Ashes 2019.
