Ricky Ponting, a former Australia captain, wrote a touching tribute to Shane Warne after the great leg-spinner died of a suspected heart attack in Thailand on Friday. Warne always put his teammates first, according to Ponting, who captained Australia to several victories. Shane Warne, the titan of Australian spin bowling, died on March 4, 2022. Warne’s death has put the cricketing world into a tizzy. The 52-year-old leg spinner was in Thailand when he died.
Ricky Ponting, an Australian cricketing great, resorted to social media to convey his feelings over Warne’s death. Ponting noted that putting into words how much this loss means to him is tough. Warne, according to the former Australian captain, was his teammate for nearly a decade and shared all of life’s highs and lows with him. Warne was also liked by Warne’s family, according to Ponting.
“It’s difficult to put into words how I feel. I initially met him at the Academy when I was 15 years old. He gave me my nickname. For more than a decade, we were teammates, sharing all of life’s highs and lows. Ricky Ponting tweeted, “Throughout it all, he was someone you could always count on, someone who loved his family.”
“Someone who would always put his friends first and be there for you when you needed him.” I’ve never played with or against a better bowler. King, may you rest in peace. Ricky Ponting tweeted.
