Sehwag Predicted Warner's Test Debut 2 Years Ago

Melbourne, Nov 29: Australia opener David Warner has credited Virender Sehwag for inspiring him to transform his game, and said the Indian cricketer had foreseen his Test debut two years ago.

The dashing 25-year-old batsman, known for his big hitting abilities in the shorter versions of the game, has been in irresistible form this year for his state New South Wales and Australia A and is all set to make his Test debut against New Zealand at Brisbane on Thursday.

With only 11 first-class matches under his belt, Warner has revealed that a discussion with his Indian Premier League side teammate, Sehwag had made him believe in his abilities as a Test player.

"When I went to Dehli, Sehwag watched me a couple of times and said to me 'You'll be a better Test cricketer than what you will be a Twenty20 player'," Warner was quoted as saying by the Australian media.
