Met Shane Warne once, before a Test series.

He must have done 20,000 such interviews. He looked deep into your eyes, listened intently, replied with passion and made you feel like you were the most important person on earth to him at that given moment. Pure charm.
RIP Warnie.
Shane Warne was the captain of RR when they won the 1st IPL. My son was born on finals day. i sat at night in the room with a little baby and cheered them on. We couldnt find a name for my son, so we called him Shane. The things we associate with those we never meet. #RIPWarne
