Adios Shane Warne..we will miss you!

Yesterday the iconic leg spinner Shane Warne had his last match of his life and I was quite fortunate to watch it live at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. It was an Indian Premiere League (IPL) match between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. It was the first time for me to watch a match live in a stadium. And it was a damn good experience. Wankhede is a beautiful stadium specially under floodlights. The cool breeze from the Arabian sea keep passing through the stadium all the time. And it also changed my earlier perception that people hardly can recognize any player on the ground, I could actually locate each and every player on the ground and it was really fantastic. Regarding cricket, the match was totally one-sided with Rajasthan Royals winning by 10 wicket giving their captain Warne a perfect farewell. The crowd was pretty cool as well. Although Mumbai Indians were losing the match in front of their home supporters, yet the crowd was not taking any side much. They were cheering for Rajasthan Royals players like Watson, Dravid as well. An awesome stadium, a superb crowd and a couple of perfect cricketers in the match will make my first ever experience in a stadium memorable forever :)
