THE BIGGEST CONTROVERSIES OF INDIAN CRICKETERS : PART 2

Welcome again!

If you are seeing this post, you probably would've seen the first post on this topic. If you haven't, then go see that first. 

So let's get started.

1. VIRAT KOHLI

The Indian cricketer triggered a controversy in 2012 by showing the middle finger to the Sydney crowd during a Test match between India and Australia(refer to the last post😆). He made the gesture while fielding on the boundary. Although Virat claimed that he lost temper after being verbally abused by the spectators, he was fined half the match fee, and when he was asked to do so, he made a gesture like the one shown in the photograph.

2.  NAVJOT SIDHU

                                                        THOKO TAALI!!

Navjot Singh Sidhu,former Indian opener, was accused of murdering Patiala resident Gurnam Singh in 1988. In December 2006, Sidhu was found guilty and sentenced to a three-year prison term for culpable homicide following the road rage incident. Overturning his acquittal by a lower court, the High court said that Sidhu should be punished under Section 304(II) (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).

3. MOHAMMAD AZHARUDDIN

uhh: not this one

            the real MOHAMMAD AZHARUDDIN

Former Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin’s career ended in disgrace in 2000 when he was banned for life from playing the game after he admitted to fixing three ODI matches. Although the court lifted the ban in 2012, Azhar's career was already over.

4. VIRAT KOHLI

During the Boxing Day Test against Australia in 2014, Mitchell Johnson fired in a throw straight back at Kohli who was nearing a century at that moment. Kohli had a heated exchange of words with Johnson and even lost his concentration a bit. Though he stuttered for the next 20 minutes and went onto score a brilliant 169 that helped India post a respectable score in the first innings at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

5. MS DHONI

MS Dhoni lost his cool after India's exit from the 2016 T20 World Cup at the semi-final against the West Indies. When a foreign journalist asked him about his retirement from the shorter versions of the game during the post-match press conference, the Indian skipper invited him to sit next to him on the dais. When the reporter sat down, Dhoni asked him: "Do you think I can survive till the 2019 World Cup?" The Aussie reporter replied: "You should, yes, sure." "Then you have answered the question," Dhoni told the reporter.

YEP- That's Harbhajan Singh.

So here we are again with something rather more interesting to talk about:Controversies!
There will be 3 posts on this topic, as the controversies and bakchodi done by Indian Cricketers can't be covered in a single post.
And again- this is our Bhajji in the above photograph(I don't know how to use photoshop).

So let's get started.

⬇️

1. GAUTAM GAMBHIR
    











During the third ODI against Pakistan at Kanpur in 2007, Gautam Gambhir and Shahid Afridi got involved in a heated argument. The incident took place after the two players collided with each other when Gambhir ran for a single. Match Referee Roshan Mahanama fined Afridi and Gambhir 95% and 65% of their match fees, respectively, for using abusive language. Glad there was an Indian referee their, because a foreigner couldn't have possibly understood the mc bc happening between the two.


2. MS DHONI











A case was registered in a Bengaluru court against 'Captain Cool' for allegedly denigrating(meaning to criticize(आलोचना)) Lord Vishnu in 2015 after Dhoni posed for an advertisement in a magazine as Vishnu. The petitioner said that MSD hurt the religious sentiments of the Hindus. However, the Supreme Court quashed the criminal case against the cricketer on September 5, 2016, saying that the case was too dumb to be dealt with.


3.HARBHAJAN SINGH

The off-spinner landed in controversy in 2006 after leaving his hair uncovered in an advertisement. Later, he apologised to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) - the apex religious body of Sikhs, saying that he had no intentions of hurting the religious sentiments.


4.VIRENDER SEHWAG

In an apparent dig at MS Dhoni,Virender Sehwag claimed that India won the 2011 World Cup because the team was just too good and his leadership played a minimalist role in the country's historic triumph. 
Sehwag said: "I don't know what others feel but Dhoni's captaincy alone didn't win World Cup for India. We had a very strong team already so we won the World Cups - T20 and World Cup. If you have a good team, you win. It's simple."
Jalta hai saala dhoni se.


5. VIRAT KOHLI


All of you must be wondering why i didn't mention him till now: especially when the topic is controversies. Well,i kept the best for the last.

So,he abused an Indian journalist of a national daily in Perth during the 2015 ICC World Cup after reading an article about him and his then girlfriend Anushka Sharma(Now she's his wife:don't get me wrong😛😛). Later, Virat discovered that he had abused the wrong guy, as the man he had abused wasn't the journalist who had written that piece. Virat immediately apologised to that reporter.


That will be the end of it. Come back tomorrow for more. Don't push it if you don't want to come again, i'll take that for granted that your sense of humour isn't upto the mark.

Goodbye!!

We here at bcci_empire talk about stuff that gets you cricket fans excited. Stay tuned for daily updates!!

Today we will be talking about the top scorers of the much celebrated Indian Premier League. IPL started a decade ago,and since from its start, it has created for itself a pretty strong fanbase. 
Toh chaliye hum bhi shuru karte hai beena kisi bakchodi ke.


Now, the betaaj baadshah in this regard is, the one and only, Christopher Henry Gayle, with a smashing score of 175* runs. This score,which was set in 2013, is still unbeatable. Poor RCB(which is destined to lose in this season too), sold this valuable player. 

Moving on ⇒ 
This score is chased by another great player,Brendon McCullum, who scored a whooping 158* in 73 balls and that too, against RCB (lol) in the year 2008.

For more info, refer to this table

Batsman	Runs	Balls	Opp	Season
Chris Gayle (RCB)	175*	66	PWI	2013
Brendon McCullum (KKR)	158*	73	RCB	2008
AB de Villiers (RCB)	133*	59	MI	2015
AB de Villiers (RCB)	129*	52	GL	2016
Chris Gayle (RCB)	128*	62	DD	2012
