What If: Sachin Tendulkar decided to become a fast bowler instead of a batsman

Sachin would gone down as a great domestic cricketer

#4 Shane Warne would not have had nightmares

Foes on the field, but friends off it

Australia produced one of the greatest spinners in the world in the form of Shane Warne. At the end of an illustrious career which spanned over 15 years, Warne became the second highest wicket taker in the history of cricket with 708 Test wickets to his name.

But, just like any other cricketer, Warne had a weak spot as well. Unfortunately, his weak spot was in the form of the greatest batsmen of all time. Warne had a torrid time bowling to Sachin as he conceded a lot of runs and rarely managed to dismiss him.

But, if Sachin was not in the picture at all, Warne would have had a lot more success than what he already has, and might have just overtaken Muttiah Muralitharan’s record to become the highest wicket-taker in the world.
