( CNN ) -- Australian spin legend Shane Warne has retired from all forms of cricket after playing his final match for Indian Premier League side ( IPL ) Rajasthan Royals .

'' Warne fined $ 50K ahead of retirement . The colorful Warne has been popular with his teammates and supporters alike during this IPL campaign despite struggling for form and being involved in some off-field controversies . Even this week , Warne was fined $ 50,000 following a row with Rajasthan Cricket Association secretary Sanjay Dixit over a choice of wicket . Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar paid tribute to Warne , telling reporters : `` He is a true champion , a wonderful friend . I have not been privileged to play with him in the same team , but it 's been a real treat to play against him . '' Warne retired from international cricket in 2007 after becoming the first player in history to take 700 wickets . The leg-spinner always proved as controversial off the field as he was brilliant on it , surviving drug and betting scandals , as well as a much-publicized private life , during his career . His retirement is expected to include more TV commentating , charity work and coaching . `` I 'm going to be 42 this year , I 'm in a great place in life , both personally and from the business point of view , I just want to thank everyone who supported me , '' Warne told reporters .
