Shane Warne IPL: The legendary Australian spinner had represented Rajasthan Royals in four Indian Premier League seasons.

Former Australia spinner Shane Warne will be remembered as one of the greatest cricketers to have played the game of cricket. A 21-year old representative career witnessed the leg-spinner taking part in 301 first-class matches, 311 List A matches and 73 T20s.

Warne, who passed away due to a suspected heart attack in Thailand on Friday, has left the cricketing fraternity across the world poorer. It was only this morning that the 52-year old player had expressed grief via a tweet regarding the tragic death of former Australia wicket-keeper batter Rod Marsh.

Despite retiring from international cricket in 2007, Warne continued to play in T20 league till 2013. It is worth mentioning that 55 out of Warne’s 73 T20s had come for Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.

Before his four-season IPL stint, Warne had represented Hampshire Royals in a couple of matches. His IPL career was followed by him playing three seasons for Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League.

In 55 IPL T20s, Warne had picked 57 wickets at an average of 25.39, an economy rate of 7.27 and a strike rate of 20.95. Warne had picked career-best IPL figures of 4-0-21-4 against Deccan Chargers to play a pivotal role in a 2-run victory in Nagpur.

The pinnacle of Warne’s IPL career had come during the inaugural season in 2008 when Warne had led Rajasthan Royals to a title by defeating Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings by 3 wickets in the final.

It is noteworthy that Warne had returned to Royals after a decade in the capacity of Team Mentor and Brand ambassador.
