Miscellaneous
Cricket and fantasy cricket league are always promoted as gentlemen game; however, it has not always been mild if we retrospect its long history. We have seen numerous examples where cricketers crossed their limitations getting involved in the dispute and fight off and on the field. Short-tempered, attacking and not the ones to take digs in the proper spirit, they split up the men from the gentlemen. In this post, we are not likely to discuss fantasy cricket players who were aggressive but stayed perfectly within the spirit of the game. Additionally, we are not going to speak about players who got involved with only one notorious incident. This is an imaginary list of 3 fantasy games players and has some of the finest names in the cricket history, who repeatedly had to deal with their outburst related issues during their career. Gautam Gambhir The Delhi-born opening batsman is consistently regarded as a player who wears his heart on his sleeves. Gambhir was linked to multiple controversies in his illustrious cricket career. Gambhir had a heated feud with his Delhi coach, Bhaskar Pillai, at the Vijay Hazare Trophy in Bhubaneswar in 2017. He was presented with a four-match suspension from first-class cricket for his impolite action. He was also involved in a notorious conflict with Virat Kohli in an IPL game between KKR and RCB in 2016 that lifted too many eyebrows about his outburst issues. The former Indian cricketer was also linked to a giant fight with Shahid Afridi in 2007 at an ODI in Kanpur. David Warner David Warner, who is at present serving a ban for his link in ball-tampering issue, has become involved with more than eight on and off-field issues in his cricket career. Warner’s outburst got the better of him in Twitter when he blasted Tasmanian fast bowler, Brett Geeves, with a rant of tweets. He was suspended by Australia for apparently punching Joe Root at a club after a Champions Trophy match in 2013. He was even associated with on-field incidents with players such as Jonathan Trot, Thami Tsolekile, Quinton de Kock and Varun Aaron prior he got trapped in the notorious sand-paper scandal. Virat Kohli Virat Kohli, the well-known aggressive batsman and skipper of team India, is famous for controversies. His unpredictable behavior off and on the field gained a lot of criticisms worldwide. Though he has suppressed down his anger off-late, he is even now pocket dynamite that could explode any moment. Kohli exhibited his finger to the Syndey crowd after they kept on insulting him and the team at the time of India’s trip to Australia in 2012. After that, during India’s practice session at Australia in 2015, the Indian captain needlessly shouted with violent words at a reporter for writing about his bond with Anushka Sharma. He also got involved with Gautam Gambir on an unpleasant spat at the IPL game in 2016. His problems with Anil Kumble led to the Indian legend resigning from the post of Indian cricket team coach.
