Top five cricketers who were defamed in India
Over the years, several Indian players have been defamed due to involvement or allegations of corruption.
3. Ajay Sharma
Former India batter, Ajay Sharma, faced a major setback in 2000 when he was handed a life ban for alleged involvement in match-fixing. His career ended suddenly at the age of 36, as he lived with the humiliation for 14 years.
However, in 2014, a Delhi district court cleared him of all charges and directed the BCCI to release his pending dues and allow his participation in cricket-related activities. Sharma expressed his desire to contribute to Delhi cricket and support his son Manan, now a domestic cricketer. He refrained from watching matches during the ban to protect his family from criticism. Today, Sharma runs successful UClean franchises in Delhi-NCR and Punjab and works as a Deputy GM.
