Shane Warne Dies At 52
Shane Warne, cricketing icon and legendary spinner, has died, the Australian media reported. He was 52.

“Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” the reports said quoting the statement. "The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course."

Will miss you Warnie. There was never a dull moment with you around, on or off the field. Will always treasure our on field duels & off field banter. You always had a special place for India & Indians had a special place for you.
Gone too young! pic.twitter.com/219zIomwjBThe game of cricket has lost what I consider a university of leg-spin bowling today. I was inspired by his bowling from the start of my career and it was always a privilege to play against him. My deepest condolences are with Warne's family and loved ones. #ShaneWarne pic.twitter.com/Uht87qDcJ5
