Ravi Shastri Remembers Shane Warne in Emotional Video

Ravi Shastri shared an emotional video on social media in which he recalled his last meeting with Shane Warne at a bar in Nottingham.

“The last time I saw you was at Nottingham. You poked your head in a bar when we were out of quarantine and were allowed to sit in a bar and have a drink. I shouted, ‘Aaye Warnie, come here my friend,’ and you saw me and came right up. I held you like that and said, ‘How are you mate? We need to have a chat,’ and you said, ‘Anytime, Ravi.’ That was the last time I saw you, and it hurts,” Shastri said.

Former India coach Ravi Shastri also paid condolences to Shane Warne’s family.

“This is no age to go but they also say the good die young. Condolences to the family, my friend. A message for you, God bless your soul. Get freaking upstairs in a hurry, spin a web. But remember, once you do that, we are ordinary mortals and make it easier for all of us to tread the path, reach upstairs to join you for a pint. Remember, we are coming without a bat in hand, so make it easy,” Shastri further said.

Ravi Shastri also recalled his first meeting with Shane Warne, when he saw him at Sydney Cricket Ground for the first time. He also called him a larger-than-life character.

“The first time I saw you was at the SCG. You were all round, nothing one called of an Australian athlete. But believe you me, after five days, I knew very clearly what you were all about and where you were gonna go. Certainly, in my wildest dreams, I did think that you would go as far as you did. Born in 1969 and gone in 2022. In that span of time, you were the largest larger-than-life character that I played the sport with,” Shastri further said.
