Shocked, stunned and miserable: Sachin Tendulkar mourns Shane Warne unfortunate demise


March 4 will be remembered as a sad day for Australian cricket. Two legends: Wicketkeeper-batter Rod Marsh and spin great Shane Warne, have passed away. The latter's demise is a shock to all, as he was aged just 52. He is suspected of having suffered a heart attack. On the same note, legendary Indian Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar has mourned his unfortunate demise.

Tendulkar took to his social media handles to share a picture along with Warne and captioned, "Shocked, stunned & miserable… Will miss you, Warnie. There was never a dull moment with you around, on or off the field. Will always treasure our on-field duels & off-field banter. You always had a special place for India & Indians had a special place for you. Gone too young!"
