Shane Warne’s Life:
One of the world’s most influential spin bowlers and Cricketers, Shane Warne was born to German-born Bridgette (Brigitte) and Keith Warne in Upper Ferntree Gully, Victoria, an outer suburb of Melbourne. Warne attended Hampton High School from Grades 7–9, after which he was offered a sports scholarship to attend Mentone Grammar.
Then after, Shane Warne started riding on the steps of success.
Warne had played in just seven first-class matches before making his International debut at Test level for Australia.
In January 1992, he had an undistinguished Test debut when called into the Australian team for a Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The rest is History, as we say…
Shane Warne may arguably be the greatest spinner of all time but there have been times when his controversies and scandals on and off the field took precedence over his career.
As far as his family life is concerned, Warne has three children with his former wife, Simone Callahan. The couple were married between 1995 and 2005.

Two inspiring lessons from Shane Warne:
1. Skill
Shane Warne was an extraordinarily skilled cricketer. His accuracy was super incredible (he rarely needed to ‘loosen up’, he was accurate from the first ball) and when the ball was not turning, he could use drift and bounce to bamboozle even the best of batsmen.
He owns the record for the most wickets in a calendar year (96 in 2005), won a Man of the Match award in a World Cup final and was the first bowler to 700 wickets. He was more than just a cricketing great. He was astounding. He was exceptionally crafted.
2. Flair
Shane Warne also had a propensity for the dramatic. One only needs to experience his very first ball in England, which bowled the veteran Mike Gatting with a prodigiously turning leg spinner, to see this.
Shane Warne was a very charismatic cricketer, interacting with his fans and critics, so much different and unique from spinners, historically. He seemed to save his finest for the biggest occasions, such as 40 wickets in that dramatic 2005 Ashes series, and the 1999 World Cup.
Shane Warne was the rarest combination of both substance and style together.

In 1992, Warne played his first Test match and picked over 1,000 international wickets (in ODIs & Tests), second to this milestone after Muralitharan. 708 Test wickets by Warne was the record for the maximum wickets taken by any bowler in Tests until it was broken by Muralitharan on 3 December 2007.
In 1994, Warne was named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year in the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanac. In 1997, Warne was the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World.
Warne was selected by a panel of cricket experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century, the only specialist bowler selected in the quintet, and the only one still playing at the time and this was in 2000.
In the 2005 Wisden Cricketers’ Almanac, Warne was named Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World for the year 2004.
In July 2013, the legend and the Cricketing genius and the spinning superstar, officially retired from all formats of cricket.
As long as there is Cricket, every spinner will be compared to Warne; every spinner will be hoped to be at once exact and incisive, and to have all the tools at their disposal, at a moment’s notice, to be dropped on a length. But, it seems like the world will never see anything closer to Shane Warne’s perfection-Concludes Renowned Business Transformation Leader Hirav Shah.
