Shane

For someone who initially focused solely on Australian Rules football, Shane Warne’s rise to become one of the greatest cricketers of his era—and indeed of all time—seems almost accidental. After being dismissed from football for not meeting the required skill level, Shane, at 19, turned to the challenging craft of spin bowling. Despite being labeled unfit and overweight, he reinvented himself. With his success came fame, admiration, wealth, and status, but his career was jeopardized by a betting scandal, drug issues, and affairs that led to the end of his marriage. Following a 12-month suspension, he managed to rebuild his cricketing prowess, career, and reputation, ultimately becoming one of the most formidable competitors globally, admired and respected by millions.
