Former India captain Virat Kohli has penned an emotional note for Shane Warne after the Australian bowling legend died of a suspected heart attack in Thailand, where he was holidaying.
Kohli, who’s playing his 100th career Test match in Mohali, took to social media to write, “Life is so fickle and unpredictable. I cannot process the passing of this great of our sport and also a person I got to know off the field. RIP #goat. Greatest to turn the cricket ball.”
Both past and present cricketers from around the world had poured their hearts out to mourn the tragic death of the 52-year-old Australian legend.
