David Warner, having retired from Test cricket, may be heading towards calling it quits in the yellow jersey at the end of the T20 World Cup in June. The Australian, in a freewheeling chat, asserts he is far from done with the Indian Premier League, a tournament synonymous with his career. Excerpts:
Having played more than 100 Tests after being tagged as a T20 specialist initially, do you think of yourself as an exception or a trendsetter?
I believe I have given every person out there hope that they can play all three formats. For me, it was about going out there and doing as best as I could and trying to perform every time I walked out to bat. I was able to do that in the Test arena and the white-ball arena, so hopefully that gives a lot of hope to a lot of kids out there that aspire one day to play red ball and Test cricket.
