Even the silliest of rumours spread like a forest fire. Among them, there are certain stories which have been blown out of proportion and it has provided some laugh out loud moments.

In India, if there is one cricketer who can take up stand-up comedy as a profession, then it is Navjot Singh Sidhu. The dashing opener once cracked the cricket ball to all parts of the ground and now he is cracking speeches in the Indian Parliament. Along with his political career, Sidhu used to be a famous television personality with his witty commentary work.

He has also served the role of a judge in reality shows such as The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and Comedy Nights with Kapil where he used to laugh like an individual who is having a Pseudobulbar effect. The fun-loving cricketer surely loves his quotient of humour but even he may not enjoy this rumour which spread across the country in 1996. India and Pakistan were battling it out in the Sharjah Cup and the tensions were already high with Sidhu stroking a ton against the arch-rivals.

During this time, Aamir Sohail started sledging the right-hander and in the heat of the moment, Sidhu started walking towards him with a raised bat. Immediately the umpires intervened and calmed down the situation but news started making rounds that the Indian stabbed the umpire with stumps. It is really funny how people relate PunabIt is kind of really funny that how someone relates that a Punjabi always aggressive but one must understand that everybody is not Sunny Deol of Gadar.
