In a testament to Warne's popularity, a Twitter user recently uploaded a video of a young kid, who is seen copying the former bowler's action and consistently bowls different kinds of deliveries, showcasing his variations. The video is captioned as, "#ShaneWarne's replica in #Quetta....six year old #AliMekail plays cricket....and successfully copies #Shane Warne while bowling."

Former Aussie leg-spinner Warne, who made his test debut in 1992 against India. 48-year-old had 708 wickets to his name from 145 matches. He claimed 10 ten-wicket hauls and 37 five-wicket hauls throughout his Test career. Warne, who can also be considered as the leggie who made leg-spin famous and desirable, is also the proud owner of the 'Ball of the Century'.

The 'Ball of the Century', also known as the 'Gatting Ball', took place at Old Trafford, Manchester during the first Ashes Test in 1993. The delivery drifted away from the batsman and pitched outside leg-stump only to spin back in and hit the off-stump. Recalling how he bowled the mesmerizing delivery, Warne had said, "The ball of the century was a fluke. It really was. I never did it again in the first ball of any time."
