Will cherish them forever mate."

A man who defined class and accuracy on the pitch through his zest for perfection! May you shine the brightest wherever you are mate," the 40-year-old Yuvraj wrote.
Shane Warne has been one of the most lethal bowlers the game of cricket has ever seen. Playing majorly on fast and bouncy pitches of Australia, the leggie had enjoyed a time as not many can even think of. He has scalped 1001 wickets in International cricket and is second on the list of most wickets in International cricket. He has also picked up 708 wickets in Test cricket which is second most after Muthiah Muralidaran.
On Warne's 53rd birth anniversary, a post from Warne's Twitter account has also been shared. "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," the Twitter post read.
Warne died on 4th March 2022 in a Thai villa, where he was on vacation. His friend tried to revive the former cricketer before the ambulance arrived. However, Warne was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
