Top 10 cricketing controversies of the decade

David Warner and Quinton de Kock involved in a dressing room altercation

David Warner is brash, bold and aggressive and doesn’t shy from having a go at someone. When Australia toured South Africa in 2018, Warner was even being targeted by the crowds and everyone around. He was involved in multiple things and first of those was an altercation with Quinton de Kock.

As seen in a leaked CCTV footage of the stairway to the dressing room, the two cricketers were involved in a very heated conversation. The Australian opener was having a go at de Kock on their way to the dressing room. He had to be pulled back by his skipper Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, and Tim Paine at different times.

The South African stumper who was following the Australian players was kept away from Warner and went into the dressing room. Both players got away without being charged by the ICC. However, only two Test matches later, Warner was involved in the ball-tampering fiasco in Cape Town which led to a one-year ban.
