If you are a cricket fan, you couldn’t possibly forget the ball of the century by legend Shane Warne on the muggy Manchester’s pitch in the 1993 Ashes series. Not just Mike Gatting, but the delivery led everyone stupefied. How could a ball pitched outside leg stump hit the off stump? While for everyone, it was something impossible for the spin magician Shane Warne, it was just a trick of his wrist.
His entire career is filled with such moments of unbelievable deliveries that made him the greatest spinner of all time. It’s painful to admit that the legend is no longer with us. His departure from the world has left a void that would never be filled.
