Australian cricketer and the inaugural captain of the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals, breathed his last on 4th March in Thailand, widely acknowledged as the greatest spinners in cricket history. To give respect and honour the man, the Rajasthan Royals team will be wearing a special jersey as a tribute to Shane Warne against their upcoming match with Mumbai Indians.
Shane Warne led the Royals as the winner in the first edition of IPL in 2008 and hence is the only captain of the franchise to lift the trophy. Ahead of their game against Mumbai, the Royals posted a video on social media which saw many Rajasthan Royal players share their thoughts of the Aussie.
RR opener Jos Buttler said, “The belief he could instil in others, I think, was the biggest thing I took away, you know. Think he made you feel 10 feet tall when you were around him”.
“I think his wishes have and always will be with me”, Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal claimed.
Shane Warne last played an IPL game against Mumbai Indians and won the IPL at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. The RR’s will be wearing a custom made jersey to honour their first captain.
