Veteran Indian spinner Piyush Chawla recently recalled a conversation with the late legend Shane Warne, which has had a huge impact on his career. Talking about Piyush Chawla, he represented Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) in the first edition of the IPL in the year 2008, when he was just 19 years old. The T20 format was new in India at that time, and like many others, Chawla was also trying to understand the format and gameplay of T20 cricket. He made his T20 debut for Uttar Pradesh in 2007, where he registered impressive figures of 3-23. However, he struggled in the big leagues early in his career, conceding 46 runs in three overs in his first two Indian Premier League (IPL) matches against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Rajasthan Royals (RR). Piyush Chawla made this statement while speaking on 2 Sloggers Podcast “Our first match was against CSK and they had scored 230+ runs. I bowled one over and gave away 20 runs. So I just got one over. I thought ‘no problem. What’s done is done’. After that we reached Jaipur for the second match against Rajasthan Royals. We batted first and I scored 24 runs off 11-12 balls. When I came to bowl, I gave away 30 runs in 2 overs. After that I went to my room and thought ‘this T20 cricket is not my cup of tea’.” He further said, “After the match, Yuvraj came and introduced me to the great Shane Warne. I went to his room and started talking. I was not able to speak English and he was not able to understand much. But whatever little I understood, he understood. After 40 minutes I came out of his room and I am not joking, I felt that there is no bowler better than me. He told me a lot of things and explained me small things about cricket.” Piyush Chawla registered figures of 2- 16 in the next match against Mumbai Indians Inspired by Shane Warne’s words, Chawla justified the faith the team had shown in him. He picked up two wickets for just 16 runs in Kings XI Punjab’s stunning win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Mohali. After this, Chawla never looked back and became one of the highest wicket-takers in IPL history.

Warne is counted among some of the greatest spin bowlers in world cricket Shane Warne (Image Credit- Twitter/X) Australia’s late former cricketer Shane Warne is known as the magician of spin, who used to make the ball dance to his tunes. Warne is the one who bowled the ball of century in cricket. Warne had such magic of spin in his hands that even the best players could not play him easily. Warne took 708 wickets in 145 Test matches and 293 wickets in 194 ODIs for Australia. Although he never played T20 International cricket for Australia, he had played 73 T20 matches in tournaments like IPL and Big Bash League. During this period, he took a total of 70 wickets at an average of 26.61. Apart from making the ball dance to his tunes, he was known for playing mind games on the field. Warne used to know in advance which shot the batsman was going to play. He used this specialty of his in a match during the Big Bash League in 2011, when he went one step ahead of the batsman on strike. So this batsman was none other than former New Zealand cricket team captain and explosive batsman Brendon McCullum. Let us tell you that a match was being played between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars on Brisbane ground that season. At that time Warne, who was playing for the Stars, was continuously talking to the commentators with a microphone, and during this he predicted the shots to be played by McCullum and bowled the same type of ball to him so that he could counter them. During the match, a commentator asked Shane Warne, “What about McCullum, Shane?” McCullum replied to the commentator, “Maybe after the first shot he will play a sweep shot or play with force from inside-out. So here I want to try and bowl him a fast ball that slides.” McCullum then plays a sweep shot against Warne; since Warne knew he was going to do so, he bowls a fast delivery which lands straight between leg and middle stump and hits the off stump. See how Shane Warne got Brendon McCullum out On the other hand, if we tell you the situation of this match, then Brendon McCullum’s team had to face defeat. While chasing the target of 178 runs given by Melbourne Stars, Brisbane Heat could only score 169/7.
