52-year-old Warne was discovered unconscious in his villa and was unable to be awakened.After the passing of legendary wicket-keeper Rodney Marsh earlier in the day and after Warne expressed his condolences to his senior, Warne’s passing was a double blow for Australia.Yoga now unites us despite the differences in our lifestyles. Because of cricket, we had known one other for a very long period. But now days, tennis and films are bringing us together. Although we might cook in diverse ways, Masterchef has brought us together, Modi stated in his address to the neighbourhood.
