Batting icon Sunil Gavaskar feels the late Shane Warne sent down “magic deliveries” during his career and mastered a difficult craft but the legendary Australian wasn’t the greatest spinner of all time as his performance in India was “pretty ordinary.”
Warne, since making his debut in 1992, played 145 Tests for Australia, picking up 708 wickets with his leg-spin. In his 194 ODI appearances, he snared 293 scalps.
But when Gavaskar was asked if the Australian was the greatest spinner he has seen, the former India captain said he rated India’s litany of spinners and former Sri Lanka bowler Muttiah Muralitharan higher than Warne
