Shane Warne's 53rd birth anniversary: World cricket pays tribute to 'King of Spin'

Shane Warne, arguably one of the best bowlers to ever play the game, completely changed the way spin bowling was thought of. With his infamous stride up to the crease and a ripping wind-up action, he added flare to slower bowling. Warne not only produced incredible spin off the pitch, but he was also highly accurate, which is a difficult quality for a leg-spinner to master. Warne wasn’t a mug with the bat, either, and his sides benefitted frequently from his aggressive batting even as he developed into one of Australia’s most efficient bowling options during his era. Warne would have turned 53 today. He died in March this year on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, of a heart attack. The world has not forgotten to celebrate the birth anniversary of the Aussie legend.

A legacy gives you a perspective on what's important.

It is about the richness of an individual's life, including what they accomplished and the impact they had on people and places.

Shane’s Legacy will live on.

Happy birthday - always in our hearts 🤍🤍🤍 pic.twitter.com/qL5NPIZnUk

A special wish, seemingly shared by his family or social media team, has been glittering on Warne’s Twitter handle. The caption of the post reads, “A legacy gives you a perspective on what’s important. It is about the richness of an individual’s life, including what they accomplished and the impact they had on people and places. Shane’s Legacy will live on.” As soon as it was posted, fans went on to pay their tribute to the “King of Spin.” Since being shared, the post has garnered over 30,000 likes. Many former and active cricketers also took their time to show respect to the Australia great. Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh marked him as “a man who defined class and accuracy on the pitch through his zest for perfection.”

Fondly remembering this great legend on his birth anniversary!
