Warne brought spin as an attacking commodity to cricketing world: Ashwin

Still in disbelief by Shane Warne's death, India off-spinner Ravichandran hailed the late Australian legend for redefining bowling and bringing spin as an attacking commodity in world cricket.

Warne, a spin wizard who made the world fall in love with his craft, died of natural causes at the age of 52 in Thailand on Friday, leaving the world shell-shocked.

"I see Warne as a flag-bearer for carrying the spin aspect of bowling on the front in the world cricketing map. The top three wicket-takers in the world are spinners in Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble," Ashwin said on his Youtube channel.
