Warnes response came on a tweet by a senior journalist in Kashmir who had posted a video of the boys bowling at a local match earlier this year.
Easily ball of the century. A googly that turns a metre and a half. @ShaneWarne take a look. You have some competition, journalist, Islah Mufti had tweeted. His name is Ahmad. He is 7 year old from Ganderbal district of Kashmir. A prodigy, I guess, Mufti later tweeted in reply to Warne.
The video has already gathered 64000 views.
The youngster became a topic of discussion during Fox Crickets lunch break broadcast on day two of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy match between Australia and India.
