What happened on 4th March 2022 has shocked not only Cricket Australia but the whole world. Australia’s greatest leg-spinner Shane Warne has died at the age of 52 due to a heart attack. With this news, there was mourning in the entire sports world. Players from Australia and Pakistan kept a 2 minutes silence for Shane Warne before the start of today’s game. The players of India and Sri Lanka also expressed their grief by tying a black band. What Harsha Bhogle told about Shane Warne in a video on Cricbuzz is in front of you in this article.

“I’m in agony, I am in mourning, I’m in disbelief and you must be wondering why on earth would what happen to an Australian cricketer. Affect somebody at the other end of the world almost how it has not just because I loved leg-spin bowling. Not just because Warnes’s numbers were extraordinary. Not because he lived life on the edge and did the most miraculous things. Not also because he was just the greatest of his kind and I’d elaborate on all that but simply because it was Shane Warne you watch Shane Warne and you realize you were in the midst of something magical you know some people are just born to play cricket. Those who are born to do what they are outstanding at doing beyond cricket? 

Some people are born to paint, some people are born to invent the most incredible things. Shane Warne was born to burn leg breaks and it was an intoxicating mixture the way he set up a batsman. The way he gambled it was I II just love Leg-Spin every time I met Ronnie and i was very very privileged to have known him well I would pester him I said honey what speed did you go like how long did you take to figure out what pitch, what is the right pitch, right speed on this pitch how long did it take you to figure out what a batsman did not like and he enjoyed talking about leg-spin bowling to someone who was a who just had the faith in leg spin-spin bowling was a bug who enjoyed it I enjoyed talking lets pin bull no I enjoy listening legs been bowling with Shane born because what am I going to talk to him about and he was passionate he was absolutely passionate about bowling. 

I will give you just a couple of examples of how passionate he was he loved Young Ravindra Jadeja like he was one of his own boys every time Jadeja came on and said Warni one of your boys and one would glow like that he would literally glow like that when I said one you wanna and one day he kept going after the video editor saying show me the one that goes straight show me the one that turns and he kept looking at it and then he was like a child. He said you know what I’ve figured out the one that goes straight I figure out the one that turns and you know this is what it does and I said this is one of the greatest talking about another bowler but that’s how involved he was in the game that’s how much he loved the game and then I saw one site that I didn’t think I would see I you know to the world.

Shane Warne was this almost brash arrogant all the lip band everywhere the blonde air thrown around always corning people with his craft sometimes looking

like a little brash and in the Sydney test in 2018-19 I think Kuldeep Yadav got five wickets in the last test and he came to every morning by the way as Warni would pass them he would stop at the Indian let’s have a word with Kuldeep Yadav and go on and Kuldeep was like the student he would just sit and listen and so when Kuldeep got five he said for me the greatest thing is that my hero Shane Warne is watching and I was in the commentary box in fox with wani next to me and you should have seen warning he was blushing he was quiet. He was almost like there’s a surprise birthday gift that had been put up to him he was in a different world he was so happy he was so excited because one he loved the sport loved Australia loved everything yes but one he loved the sport. He wants to talk to this leg spinner he says yes Warni can you have a look at that guy he’d say yes. He would go and spend time with him Warni was born he was a creator of the world.

There’s another reason why I’m a little emotional today some years ago would have been three or four years ago my son was starting his website and you know how it is for a young man starting to start his own website it’s called the Ringside view and I just said to him Shane Warne and he looked at me to say I’m impossible

and I messaged Warne I said one is a young kid starting a website would mean a lot to him or speaking to him and II III didn’t finish my sentence he said anytime mate and he did a fabulous long interview. He was generous with his time and I said you won big time for what you did to my young man maybe if I can I’ll do something to your kids. I don’t know if that’s going to happen but the greatest Leg Spinner that ever played the game. There I say the greatest spinner that played the game was very very passionate about what he did die in 52 you know he was 52.

That’s ridiculous that’s no age to go one he always lived on the edge you knew when he lived on the edge you knew he would do something outrageous from time to time because that was who he was in an outrageous thing on the field as well but 52? I don’t know what what you were going through he tweeted this morning about losing Rod Marsh little aware that he’d be writing his obituaries. Warni you had that effect on someone far far away from a different country you spoke so generously about Tendulkar you spoke so generously about people who got ran off you. Differences when they came hard at me but you knew that the opinion he was always coming hard at you with his opinion but I one of my great one of my happiest commentary students was working with Shane Warne on Fox Sport in 2018. I can’t even say go well he was a legend and that’s going to take some time to sink in”
