Former India batter Gautam Gambhir has also paid his tribute to Warne, reminiscing his time at the Australian cricket academy as an 18-year-old.

Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has condoled the untimely demise of Shane Warne, saying it is now his duty to pass the teachings of the legendary spinner to the younger generation. Warne had passed away on Friday aged 52 after a suspected heart attack. "He was a teacher through his commentary and I've seen hundreds of photos over the last 24 hours of all the spinners he worked with. He helped Steve Smith in his younger days and Rashid Khan has been catching up with him - just imagine the conversations they would have had. So I feel it is now up to me, whenever I get an opportunity, to just let the world know what he was like and pass on some of the things I learnt from him," Ponting said on the 'ICC Review'.

With the world mourning Shane Warne's death on social media, fans flooded to a cricket.com.au post on Twitter to celebrate the Australian legend's cricket career. The Australian cricket Twitter handle posted a video from 1999 when Warne was requested by England captain Alec Steward to make his way into the middle and help in calming a hostile MCG crowd. Tensions rose during the Australian innings when bottles and golf balls were thrown towards the England fielders from a section of the crowd. Play was also stopped at one point for nearly five minutes and garbage began to enter the boundary.
