The leg-spinner took 708 Test wickets and 293 wickets in the One Day Internationals. The 52-year-old spinner was the first bowler to capture 700 wickets in Test match history and is currently the second-highest wicket taker in the format. Only Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has more Test wickets than him (800).He is also the leading wicket taker in the history of the Ashes with 195 scalps to his name.Warne also had a close connection with India. The Australian spinner captained Indian Premier League (IPL) side Rajasthan Royals (RR) during the initial years of the tournament. He led RR to the title in the very first edition of the IPL back in 2008.
