David Warner played a memorable knock for Australia on Saturday against Pakistan at Adelaide. The Australia opener went on to become the highest scorer in a day-night Test match as he added 335* runs in the first innings, in what was his first-ever Test triple hundred.
Warner's 335 left sir Don Bradman's highest score 334 behind. It was a dream innings for him.
The 33-year-old revealed about his interaction with India's Virender Sehwag, who has two triple hundred in Test. Sehwag and Warner shared the same dressing room once while playing for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The ex-India cricketer had told Warner that he will become a better Test batsman than T20. "When I met Virender Sehwag while playing for Delhi in the IPL, he sat down to me and said I will be a better Test player than a Twenty 20 player. I said 'you're out of your mind, I've not played many first-class games'," Warner said.
"He always said 'they will have slips and gully, covers open, mid-wicket stay there. mid-off and mid-on will be up, you can get off to a flier and sit there all day and you'll be picking them all off'. That's always stuck in my mind, it sounded very easy when we were discussing then."
Warner was down and out after the Ashes. He struggled throughout the tour and couldn't even score overall 100 runs. He added just 95 runs in 10 innings.

"Never, never (thought of quitting Test after Ashes). At the end of the day, you're going to have people who are going to doubt you. Through that whole campaign (Ashes), I always said I wasn't out of form, I was out of runs," Warner said.
"This is not something from hindsight, if I had my time again, I wouldn't have not changed my guard, not listened to some external noises, backed myself more. I am capable of that. I have had to regroup coming back from England. I probably faced 3.500 or 4,000 balls at the nets leading into Brisbane. Obviously here as well.
"It's not by chance that I have tightened all that up. I have worked hard at the nets. Look, I have never doubted myself at all. I am a very confident person."
