#2. Shane Warne

Shane Warne began his Test career in 1992 but the world noticed him when he delivered the 'ball of the century' to Mike Gatting in 1993. After pitching outside leg-stump, the ball spun away to crash on the off-stump leaving Gatting and the rest of the world completely fazed.
In the subsequent years, Warne turned the ball a lot more and reaped heavy success with his leg-spin bowling. His bowling was effective but even more crucial was his shrewd mind that enabled him to have an upper hand over the batsmen.
His career saw many controversies but till his retirement in 2007, he was among the best bowlers in the world and retired with 708 Test wickets.
