Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has remembered the great late Shane Warne on his birth anniversary and paid his tributes.

13th September is Shane Warne’s birthday, and he would have been 53 years old today, but it was not meant to be. Warne passed away earlier this year due to a suspected heart attack in Thailand. He was one of the best to ever play the game and had some incredible numbers under his belt. Shane Warne ended his test career with 708 test wickets and 293 ODI wickets.

Apart from his on-field records, Warne has had a lot of controversies throughout his career. He failed the drug test ahead of the 2003 World Cup.. Warne even passed on the critical information to a bookmaker about the game. He has also been in a rift with Muttiah Muralitharan, Arjuna Ranatunga and Steve Waugh.  Despite all the off-field controversies, Warne is hugely admired in the cricketing circuit.
