Starting as a frustrated teenage Aussie Rules player, he shifted to cricket, transforming spin-bowling into an exhilarating spectacle and achieving statistics that place him among the sport's greats. Warne burst into prominence in 1993 with a stunning delivery that left England's Mike Gatting bewildered, marking the beginning of his illustrious journey.
