CRICKET ALL TIME MOMENTS OF CHEATING AND UNSPORTSMANSHIP

There have been some incidents that have been widely criticized for their lack of sportsmanship or fair play. Here are some examples:

Sreesanth's spot-fixing scandal (2013) - Indian fast bowler Sreesanth was arrested by the Delhi Police for his involvement in spot-fixing during the 2013 IPL. He was subsequently banned from cricket for life by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

Shahid Afridi's ball-biting incident (2010) - During a match between Deccan Chargers and Kolkata Knight Riders, Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi was caught on camera biting the ball. He was subsequently banned for two T20 matches by the match referee.

Harbhajan Singh slapping Sreesanth (2008) - During a match between Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians, Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh was caught on camera slapping Sreesanth. He was subsequently banned for the remainder of the IPL season by the BCCI.

Ravindra Jadeja's contractual dispute (2012) - Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was signed by the Chennai Super Kings for the 2012 IPL, but his former team, the Rajasthan Royals, claimed that they had the right to match Chennai's bid. The dispute was eventually resolved by an arbitration panel, which ruled in favor of Chennai.

Kolkata Knight Riders' celebration controversy (2012) - During a match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians, KKR players were seen celebrating a wicket by performing a "throat-slitting" gesture, which was widely criticized for its violent connotations. The BCCI subsequently issued a statement condemning the gesture.

It's important to remember that the IPL, like any sporting event, can be emotionally charged and mistakes or lapses in judgment can happen. However, players, coaches, and officials are expected to uphold certain standards of behavior and respect for the game.
