3. Shane Warne
Shane Warne needs no introduction to the world of Cricket. People always say he was controversial but no one can deny his ability and achievement in the International arena. He reinvented the most subtle art of Cricket. Again and again, he did extraordinary things in the most difficult of circumstances.
Warne made his debut for Australia in 1992 against India but the world saw the glimpse of his incredible ability in the first Test Match of 1993 Ashes series when he delivered the ball of the century to Mike Gatting and got his first wicket in the prestigious Ashes series.
After that delivery, he went on and became one of the finest bowlers of all time, Warne’s confidence and reputation grew match by match.
Warne was always surrounded by many controversies throughout his career and in 2003, the day before Australia’s first game of the ICC World Cup, it emerged that he tested positive for a banned drug. Warne was sent home in shame but in the March 2004, he came back to International Cricket in fine style as he became the second cricketer to take 500 Test wickets after Courtney Walsh in the first Test of a three-Test series against Sri Lanka in Galle.
He was the first bowler to take 700 wickets in Test Cricket and retired as the leading wicket-taker with 708 wickets in 2007.
