1. S. Sreesanth

In May 2013, former pacer S. Sreesanth was arrested alongside Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan for alleged spot-fixing in the IPL that year. The bowler was accused of conceding runs deliberately in exchange for money.
The BCCI imposed a life ban on him in September 2013 based on an internal investigation. While a Delhi court acquitted him in 2015, the Kerala High Court reinstated the ban in 2017. In 2019, the Supreme Court called the punishment excessive and asked BCCI to review it. Eventually, the ban was reduced to seven years, allowing Sreesanth to return in 2020. However, the pacer announced his retirement from domestic cricket on March 9, 2022.
