Top 10 current short tempered cricketers

Cricket is known to be a gentlemen's game. Over the years, it's carried forward the legacy of sportsmanship. The players have to maintain a certain kind of decorum and dignity on the field. Their behaviours dictate the nature of the game. 

And as they all say, change is the only constant thing and it has been reflected on the cricketing field as well. Cricketers have started to react or express themselves quite often than they used to do earlier. Maybe because the competitiveness of the game has reached a high level. 

In this day and age, we get to see cricketers losing their minds. They take out their frustration through different mannerisms. Let's take a look back at some incidents involving cricketers in recent times who lost their cool on the field. 

10. Harmanpreet Kaur

The most recent and controversial incident when a cricketer lost their cool, involves the India women's captain Harmanpreet Kaur in the middle. It was during a game in the recently concluded Bangladesh series. India did have a tough tour, it looked from the outside that things started to take a toll on Kaur. 

In the last match of the tour, Kaur smashed the stumps after being caught at slip. She demonstrated her anger with this kind of action, she even went on to express dissatisfaction in the post-match ceremony.  Even during the post-ceremony photo session, she disrespected the opponent by calling the umpires as well to join them in the picture. 

With Harman, it wasn't the first time that she found herself to be in this kind of situation. In the 2017 World Cup semi-final clash against Australia, she was fined for throwing her helmet on the ground. But this time, she has been handed over a two-match ban by the International Cricket Council. All these incidents certainly paint Harmanpreet Kaur as one of the most hot-headed cricketers around.
