Shane Warne, the former cricket player of Australia, is legendary in true sense and counted among the best cricketers of the world. He is one of the most successful leg spin bowlers and even though he took retirement from playing cricket, he has turned out to be a broadcaster and commentator. What’s more, he tries to connect with fans on social media by every possible means, whether it’s answering fans’ questions or keeping them engaged with updates.
And what he recently did on the micro-blogging site Twitter made a little boy’s day. Yes, that’s right! It so happened that a cricket follower shared a video of his 8-yr son on Twitter. The video showed little boy bowling the leg spin and hence his father tagged Warne and asked for tips, if any.
He wrote, “Hey @ShaneWarne, my 8 year old lad wordhips you- any tips?!”

The man might never have imagined that Shane Warne would not only notice his post but also reply to it. It’s just like a dream come true for any fan, isn’t it?
The legendary cricketer praised the little boy but at the same time, gave a million dollar advice that would definitely help the kid a lot! Warne wrote, “Looks good, before he delivers the ball he jumps in a bit, try & get him to go in a straight line then deliver the ball. Have fun & spin it!”

The fan once again emphasized that it’s his best day ever, as he wrote, “Thanks, Warney, again- he’s just been invited to train with Sussex CCC thanks to you! Best day ever!!!!”
