9 Instances when calm cricketers lost their cool

9 Instances when calm cricketers lost their cool: Cricket is a gentleman’s game. But most of the modern day cricketers are the ambassadors of aggression. They carry their heart on their sleeves and do not hesitate to express their emotions through their body language and verbal exchanges.

There are players Australian like David Warner, Mitchell Johnson and Ricky Ponting who are known for their sledging antics, the guys like Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli who believe in giving it back; and then there are others like Rahul Dravid, Kumar Sangakkara, Hashim Amla and MS Dhoni who carried the baton of the spirit of the gentleman’s game. But imagine what would perspire if the calm cricketers lost their cool?

Here are the 9 Instances when calm cricketers lost their cool:

1. Sunil Gavaskar fumes out of the ground:

In India’s tour down under in the 1980-81, Australian umpire Rex Whitehead was under the scrutiny for taking some brave decisions which predominantly were against the Indian players. The disgust among the Indian players was justified. In the third Test of the series, Sunil Gavaskar was adjudged LBW by Whitehead. Gavaskar who was pretty sure that he had an inside edge on the delivery was not willing to leave the field. He was so disgusted that he convinced his batting partner, Chetan Chauhan, to leave the field with him as a protest. The duo left the field. Indian team Director Salim Durani, after a lot of debate and discussion, convinced Chauhan to go back to the field and the matter was settled down.
