Warne had some memorable highlights throughout his career

Whenever the Shane Warne name is being discussed, it is hard to not talk about the delivery he bowled to Mike Gatting at the 1993 Ashes series. Branded as the ‘ball of the century’, the delivery completely deceived Gatting as it clipped the bail right as he attempted to defend the ball.

Warne also boasts a fabulous record in international cricket. He had 708 wickets in 145 Test matches for Australia. He also has 293 wickets in 194 ODI matches as well, making him one of the greatest bowlers to ever play the game.
