Sunil Gavaskar has spoken at his shock at the death of Shane Warne but does not think the Australian tweaker was the greatest spinner of all time. Speaking on a show on the India Today television channel, Gavaskar said Warne's death at the age of 52 on Friday due to a suspected heart attack in Koh Samui, Thailand, had left him speechless. Warne's death followed that of fellow Australian great, wicketkeeper Rod Marsh, at the age of 74. "Within the space of 24 hours, the cricket world has lost two giants of the game, not just Australian cricket but the cricket world. Rodney Marsh and then Shane Warne. This is unbelievable. Hard to come to grips with," Gavaskar said.

It summarized a stirring tale of grit, determination and a comeback. AS IT HAPPENEDOnce the match, India's World Cup opener against Pakistan started, Mithali Raj's team exhibited the same qualities on the field. Struggling at 114/6 in the 34th over, India rode on a fine batting show from Smriti Mandana (52), Deepti Sharma (40), Sneh Rana (53 n. o, 48b, 4x4) and Pooja Vastrakar (67, 59b, 8x4) to steer India to a competitive 244/7.

Kapil Dev retired from international cricket in 1994. Once he had surpassed Richard Hadlee's tally of 431 Test wickets, it was the envy of the cricket world till Courtney Walsh went past him in 2001. Eight bowlers have gone past Kapil since and Anil Kumble has remained India's highest Test wicket-taker for close to two decades. On Sunday, R Ashwin claimed Sri Lanka's Charith Asalanka first Test to go past Kapil's tally. After finishing the second innings with figures of 4/47, he now stands at 436 wickets in 85 Tests.
