Remembering Warne's 'Ball of The Century'

On Friday, the cricketing world lost an iconic figure Shane Warne, who will definitely go down as one of the greatest bowlers to have ever played the game. 

Warne passed away at the age of 52 due to a suspected heart attack. 

And probably the best way to remember the legendary spinner is through the 'Ball of The Century' that still remains as one of the defining moments in cricket's history.

With the very first ball on his Ashes debut, the Australian bowled England great Mike Gatting with a delivery that was etched in cricket history. 

Pitching outside leg, the ball spun extravagantly and knocked off the top of Gatting's off stump, leaving the batter and everyone in total disbelief. 

"My thought process was to bowl the ball and spin the ball as far as you possibly can and send a message to the England guys that this guy can spin it," Warne had said about his intentions behind the delivery in his documentary 'Shane'.
