Six actresses S Sreesanth reportedly dated before getting married

S Sreesanth has been a controversial figure for the last few years now. He has been the part of India’s two World Cup-winning squads – in 2007 and 2011. But very few remember it as he’s been in the news for all the wrong reasons ever since his name came up in the spot-fixing scandal during the IPL 2013. Nevertheless, he has been relieved of all the charges by the court but the life-ban imposed on him hasn’t been lifted by the BCCI.

Having said that, the cricketer was more popular for his good deeds on the field when he made his debut at the highest level.
