5 Embarrassing off-field moments involving cricketers

While cricket is deemed to be a gentleman’s game, some of the cricketers brought disgrace to the sport with their off-field behaviour. They were involved in a few disgusting antics leading to a lot of embarrassment both for themselves as well as their fans. Even though these actions might have been momentary and fun at that point in time, they will be remembered for their lifetime and beyond.

These embarrassing off-field moments are something they can’t get away from and the people will remind them of it again and again. Right from Indian skipper Virat Kohli to Windies cricketer Chris Gayle, many of the cricketers were involved at least one worst and embarrassing moment that will haunt them for life.

Here are five off-field embarrassing moments involving cricketers:

1. Virat Kohli looking at Archana Vijaya’s notes

This one is a very recent event that led to a huge controversy surrounding the Indian skipper Virat Kohli. A picture during the IPL 2017 went viral leading to a massive debate. During an interview with sports anchor Archana Vijaya, Virat was seen staring at the ripped jeans of the interviewer.

Thus, it led to major criticism on social media where derogatory words were spoken about the RCB skipper. However, it was later clarified by Archana that Kohli was looking at the cue card as he tried to cheat during the rapid fire round. Yet, it left Virat seriously embarrassed as there were many unwelcoming comments about him.
