The death of legendary Australian leg-spinner, Shane Warne cast a sombre mood on social media on Friday.
Warne died in Thailand following a suspected heart attack.
He was 52 years old.
He is recognised for helping to revitalise the art of leg-spin bowling and went on to take 708 Test wickets for Australia.
Many Twitter users, including former team-mates, opponents and current players simply couldn’t believe that the spin wizard had passed away.
