“In the world there can be only one Taj Mahal. Similarly, there can only be one Shane Warne.”
“It shows that when you play under good captains you tend to pick up a lot of good leadership qualities and instincts. Warne has, I think, benefited from playing under good captains and he is very much in control of things in the IPL.”
“You can study psychology for as long as you want, but he has lived it.”
“Not only has he led the cheapest franchise to the top of the table … he has cajoled his team’s unheralded youngsters and – even more difficult, this – almost convinced everyone that he is now best mates with Graeme Smith.”
Guardian”He is a great player and he leads from the front. He has done a great job in putting the team together and motivating them to give their best.”
“His captaincy creed, ‘We can win from any position,’ is like the common cold – it’s contagious. If a team under Warne pulls off a stunning victory or two, the players start to believe that it wasn’t a miracle, just an everyday occurrence.”
“Even a long break from the game doesn’t seem to faze him.”
“Incredibly, his devotion to the team, and especially to the young players in it, even includes learning the Hindi language so he can communicate better – and not just the [G’day] that is about as far as most expatriates living in India can go. Example: “” [Now you go and bat], Warnie the linguist was heard telling Ravindra Jadeja during a net session the other day with such nonchalance that he never turned to see if anyone noticed.”
