Former Australia cricketer Shane Warne cleared the famous myth of 'baked beans' in the latest video posted on his Twitter account. When Australia had toured India in 1998, Qantas flight had dropped 1,900 tins of beans and spaghetti in India for Warne.

Australia was on a tour of three months in India and the local food was too spicy for Warne and co. They requested Cricket Australia to arrange beans and spaghetti. Warne was surprised to see three tons of beans and his name written all over the big crate.

But the great leg-spinner revealed it wasn't for him only. "Let me tell you the story about the baked beans. Everyone thinks all I lived on in India for 12 weeks on the 1998 tour was baked beans. False, incorrect!

"Remember the mid-90s when tours used to go around for around 3 months or 12 weeks. So we finished the Tests and were getting ready for the one-dayers. The (than Australia) coach Geoff Marsh, sits down at breakfast and he opens a tin of spaghetti and baked beans. And we sat thereafter having the spicy stuff for so long in India, and we thought how goodwill some spaghetti and baked beans are on toast.

"So we said to Geoff Marsh, 'we still have 3 weeks to go, is it possible to get some of these?'. So the next day he spoke to Cricket Australia and told us, 'they've organized it and they should be here in a couple of days'.

"So we get to the docks where the baked beans and spaghetti have been delivered and there are 3 tonnes of spaghetti and baked beans each. And on both sides of this big crate, it was mentioned 'Shane Warne, India'. There were a lot of other players who wanted the spaghetti and beans but it was just addressed to me.

"So we all helped ourselves to a few tins and we gave away the rest to all the people in India. And that's how the myth was born that I used to tour India and live on baked beans," Warne said.
