$50 million worth Shane Warne was once fined $300 along with Kevin Pietersen for not wearing seatbelts during a Facebook live session

Late Australian spinner Shane Warne was a character on and off the field. On the field, Warne was a magician, and he made some of the biggest batters dance to his tunes. Off the field, Warne lived a colourful life, and he was involved in way too many controversies.

Warne was involved in quite a few fights as well throughout his career with players like Arjuna Ranatunga, Marlon Samuels, Steve Waugh, Muttiah Muralitharan, etc. However, despite his controversial nature, his rivals admired him, and former English batter, Kevin Pietersen, was one of his good buddies.

Both Pietersen and Warne admired each other, Warne once admitted that he never sledged Pietersen because he always wanted the English batter to do well. Pietersen also used to be a fan of Warne, and he said that the media tarnished the image of the magical leg-spinner.
