5 players who succeeded in formats they weren't expected to

#4 David Warner (Australia) - Tests

Warner hit the ground running in Test cricket

When the short-statured Australian batsman made a sensational T20 debut against the Proteas at home, he was dubbed as a long term prospect in ODIs and T20s. Warner was considered a perfect replacement for the dynamic Adam Gilchrist and so he proved to be.

But what surprised most cricket fans was his blistering performances in Test cricket. A hard-hitting batsman, Warner wasn't expected to adapt to Test cricket, however, the southpaw has proved his critics wrong in style.

In 61 Tests, Warner has 5309 runs at an average of 48.70 including 18 hundreds. He does not often deviate from his attacking mindset in the longest format of the game although he can play with patience if required. He has even been elevated to the role of vice-captain in Tests and is one of Australia's most reliable batsmen in the format now.
