India Inc mourns Shane Warne: Adani Group boss pens emotional note, Snapdeal founder says spinner's deliveries were one of a kind

The sudden demise of Shane Warne left the whole world mourning.

On Friday night, the legendary Australian spinner passed away at the age of 52 after suffering a suspected heart attack.

Tributes for the late cricketer have been pouring in from across the world. Corporate India leaders also joined the list, and mourned his sudden demise on social media.


Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani penned a heartwarming note for Warne. In his emotional post, he said that the legend had 'immortalised the flipper'. The term is used to describe a specific bowling delivery, also known as a backspin ball, performed by a leg spin bowler.

The 59-year-old business tycoon said that the world has lost the 'greatest bowler' ever, and India has lost a 'great friend'. "Some 'overs' are never over," he wrote.


Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Executive Chairperson of Biocon, said that she was shocked to hear the news.

Snapdeal founder Kunal Bahl also appreciated Warne's ball spin. The entrepreneur-investor added that the late player was the best at spinning the ball delivery.

"We have lost a legend at such a young age," his post read.


The reports said that the late cricketer was found unresponsive in his Thailand villa, and was rushed to the hospital where the doctor on duty pronounced him dead. The Director of the Thai International hospital said that Warne had died before he arrived at the hospital.

The sports fraternity and the cricket player have been in a state of shock and disbelief since the news broke.
