Remembering Spin King Shane Warne: An Absolute Genius Who Lived Life To The Fullest

Shane Warne Tribute - Worthy of a King: Early February in 2003 had seen South Africa abuzz as the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 was all set to get off and everyone, including this correspondent, were all keyed up to catch all the action, and do our best on this pinnacle of cricket. After a humdinger at Cape Town between hosts South Africa and the West Indies (SA vs WI Cape Town Match), we were off to Johannesburg as the home team began its preparations for the next game against Australia. Being the junior reporter, yours truly was assigned to follow Australia, while the senior man would be following India, who were headed for Durban.

A competitor for all times, Shane Warne left a legacy of artistry in cricket that cannot be matched or imitated, for a long time to come.
