On March 4, 2022, world cricket lost a legend in Shane Warne. The former Australian leg-spinner died at the age of 52 due to natural causes on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui. Warne remains the second highest wicket taker in the history of Test cricket, behind Muttiah Muralitharan, with 708 scalps to his name. Warne played 194 One Day Internationals for Australia in which he scalped 293 wickets. The right-hander was also handy with the bat as he scored 3,154 runs in his Test career. He amassed 1,018 runs in the 50-overs format. The leg-spinner took a total of 1001 international wickets and was the first-ever bowler to scale the peak of 1,000 international wickets.
