Shane Warne passed away unexpectedly on March 4, 2022, at the age of 52 while on holiday in Thailand.

His sudden death from a suspected heart attack sent shockwaves through the sports community, and the grief continues to be profoundly felt by his family and friends two years later.

Warne is widely regarded as one of the greatest leg-spinners in cricket history. Debuting in 1992, he redefined the art of leg-spin bowling in an era dominated by fast bowlers.

Warne took 708 wickets in Test cricket, making him the second-highest wicket-taker in the format. He also claimed 293 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and scored over 4,000 runs across formats, though he never made a century.

One of Warne's most iconic moments came in 1993 when he bowled the famous "Ball of the Century" to Mike Gatting. That delivery remains one of the most celebrated in cricket history.

After retiring from international cricket, Warne continued to contribute to the game as a commentator, mentor, and coach.

He also led the Rajasthan Royals to victory in the first Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, showcasing his leadership and tactical skills.
