Shane Warne’s daughter shares heartfelt post for late father on his 55th birthday

Brook Warne, daughter of legendary cricketer Shane Warne, remembered her late father on what would have been his 55th birthday on September 13th. She shared a heartfelt post on Instagram, featuring a childhood photo of her with the famous leg-spinner.

Brook captioned the post, "Happy heavenly birthday to you Dad. I love you so much, today will always be your special day!" Her tribute touched many fans, keeping the memory of the cricket icon alive.

Warne tragically passed away on March 4, 2022, at the age of 52 while on holiday in Thailand. His sudden death from a suspected heart attack shocked the sports world, and two years later, the loss is still deeply felt, especially by his family and friends.

Warne is widely regarded as one of the greatest leg-spinners in cricket history. Debuting in 1992, he redefined the art of leg-spin bowling in an era dominated by fast bowlers. Warne took 708 wickets in Test cricket, making him the second-highest wicket-taker in the format. He also claimed 293 wickets in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and scored over 4,000 runs across formats, though he never made a century.

One of Warne's most iconic moments came in 1993 when he bowled the famous "Ball of the Century" to Mike Gatting. That delivery remains one of the most celebrated in cricket history.

After retiring from international cricket, Warne continued to contribute to the game as a commentator, mentor, and coach. He also led the Rajasthan Royals to victory in the first Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, showcasing his leadership and tactical skills.
