India's first ever No.1 Test team and where they are today
With an innings win against Sri Lanka at the Mumbai’s Brabourne Stadium the Indian team studded with legends were at the peak of the rankings.
11. S Sreesanth:
Sreesanth, who is famous for taking the final catch in India’s triumph in the WT20 2007, but not many speak about the important wickets he took in the 2009 Mumbai Test against Sri Lanka infact in the whole series. The pacer was part of India’s CWC 2011 campaign but what followed ended his professional career. Sreesanth, who last appeared for India in the 2011 England tour, was alleged in the spot-fixing scandal during the 2013 IPL.
While playing for the Rajasthan Royals, he was arrested along with two other teammates but was later acquitted by the Delhi court. Despite the clean chit from the court, BCCI stood by their decision of banning him for life. His attempts at challenging BCCI’s decision were successful and is still aiming to make a return. In between, he turned the political way and contested in assembly elections from his constitution on a BJP ticket but that didn’t quite work his way.
