5 players who made a successful transition from limited-overs cricket to Tests

3. David Warner (Australia)

David Warner made a sensational debut in T20Is

T20I Debut: 11 January 2009

Test Debut: 1 December 2011

David Warner has been Australia's No. 1 Test opener for quite a while now and he only seems to be getting better with every passing year. His ability to get after the bowling from the word go has established him as one of the most dangerous opening batsmen in world cricket at present.

Warner's talent, however, first came to the fore on his T20I debut against South Africa almost 3 years prior to his first Test appearance. The southpaw hammered 89 off just 43 balls in a 52-run victory for the Aussies. He also made an early impact in his Test career as he scored a century in his first series against New Zealand.

The 29-year old Warner is currently one of the mainstays of the Australian batting across all three formats.
