Melbourne: Legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne has passed away at the age of 52. It is being said that he died of a heart attack. Shane Warne is the second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket with 708 wickets, but his identity is not that much. Warne used to dodge the good batsmen with his bowling. Once he bowled a ball that has been recorded in history as 'Ball of the Century.' His turning ball at 90 degrees had made the batsman baffled. The video still goes viral on social media today.

Shane Warne bowled the ball of the century during the 1993 Ashes series. Warne clean bowled England batsman Mike Gating in the Old Trafford (Manchester) Test against England on June 4, 1993. The ball was rotated from an angle of about 90 degrees, which stunned everyone. Called the 'best ball of the century,' that ball changed Shane Warne's life. Warne's ball pitched far outside the leg stump and it seemed that the ball might be wide, so Gating did not try to play it. Meanwhile, the ball, which had turned very fast, dodged Gatting and hit his off stump, which left everyone stunned.
Let us tell you that the 'Ball of the Century' was also revealed by Shane Warne himself after many years. He said, "This ball was a surprise. I never even imagined it. I can't even repeat it. As a leg-spinner, you always think of putting a better leg-break ball. I tried to bowl exactly the same kind of ball. But the ball turned to 90 degrees, which was really amazing."
