Shane Warne, the Australian leg-spinner who died on Friday at the age of 52, was remembered by former Indian captain Virat Kohli on Saturday. In Thailand, the legendary spinner died of a suspected heart attack at the age of 73. When he learned of Shane Warne’s untimely death, Kohli wept, calling it “unpredictable and fickle,” and he still can’t believe it.
“Last night, we learned of Shane Warne’s passing. To be honest, we carry on doing what we’re doing in life, thinking that everything is about what we’re doing right now and what we’re hoping for in the future. That life can be so unexpected and fickle was swiftly realized by us. We only have to be thankful for the time we have left on this planet. The death of a person at the age of 52 is a complete surprise and a way too early death. Virat Kohli stated, “I stand here in surprise and shock.”
The charisma and attitude he brought to every interaction he was a part of, I can see what he brought to the field as well,” he says. He was an honest man, and you could tell from every conversation you had with him that he was passionate about what he was saying. He also talked with authority and confidence. Live life to the fullest and be grateful for the opportunity to have known someone like him. He was the best spinner I’ve ever played against.
Without question, he will be greatly missed.” Because of the unexpected nature of life, I hope we can all put things into perspective. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and close friends during this sad time, as I know how tough it would be for them to lose a loved one. “May God grant him peace,” he concluded.
