All-Time Arrested XI in Cricket History
These players hit the headlines for getting apprehended and going behind bars.
2. Navjot Singh Sidhu
Navjot Singh Sidhu is known for his lively personality but those who watched cricket in the 1980s and 1990s know that the former India opener was well-known for his anger. During his career, he gave a lot of bites to news journalists with his on-field altercations. While playing for India, he had differences with his captain Mohammad Azharuddin.
However, one incident that changed his life is a 1988 road rage case. In December 1988, Sidhu and his friend Rupinder Singh Sandhu had an argument with a 65-year-old man Gurnam Singh due to car parking issues. The fight between the three men got ugly when Sidhu thrashed Gurnam and left the scene. Sidhu also removed his car keys so that the veteran couldn’t receive medical help.
Gurnam was taken to a local hospital on a rickshaw but was declared brought dead. Following this incident, Sidhu and his friend got booked for the crime. In May 2022, the former India opener was found guilty of the death of the 65-year-old and was given a one-year sentence for the heinous crime.
