Watch: Usman Khawaja's Gesture Cannot Be Missed as Retiring David Warner Gets Guard of Honour From Pakistan Players
After the ongoing third Test against Pakistan, David Warner, who is set to retire, walked out to bat at the Sydney Cricket Ground, which is his home stadium, with a rousing reception from fans. Warner acknowledged the gesture of the fans as he waved his bat in the air. The 37-year-old also received a special guard of honour from the Pakistan players, who congratulated the star batter. However, before making his way into the playing field, Warner received a warm embrace from his opening partner and childhood friend, Usman Khawaja.
Warner and Khawaja came out to bat for just one over as the umpire soon declared stumps with Australia at 6/0.

Earlier on Day 1, Pakistan fought back from a tricky position to post 313 on the back of fighting half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, and Aamer Jamal. The visitors, reeling at 96/5 after opting to back, counter-attacked to frustrate the Australians at the SCG.
