Warne's dismissal of Rahul Dravid in the first inning of the final test at Bangalore took him past Lance Gibbs' tally of 309 wickets making him the most successful spinner in Test Cricket.

He retired from international cricket in January 2007 at the end of Australia's 5–0 AShane Warnes series victory over England. Warne played his first Test match in 1992 and took over 1000 international wickets (in Tests and One-Day Internationals) second to this milestone after Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan. He led his team to victory against the Chennai Super Kings in a cliffhanger of a final match on 1 June 2008.
