Cricket, this year, provided mouth-watering action to its fans with some mega cricketing events such as the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League</a>, Asia Cup 2022, ICC T20 World Cup 2022, and a wide array of riveting bilateral contests.

But one of the biggest sports in the world also witnessed some unsavoury incidents this year. While some sparked serious debates among supporters and analysts of the game, some incidents shook both the cricket fraternity and the fans of the sport.

Well, the game is known for entertaining its fans with its incredible spirit, and mutual respect, but this year there have been some incidents when the sport featured in the media for the wrong reasons. Let's go through five incidents that rocked the cricketing world in 2022:

5. Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals no-ball controversy

In the 34th game of this year’s Indian Premier League, the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) were looking to halt Rajasthan Royals' (RR) juggernaut. The game was very crucial for the Capitals as in six matches of the tournament till that stage, they had won three and lost three and hence were hungry for winning momentum.

After winning the toss, the DC skipper invited Rajasthan Royals to bat first and then the RR batter Jos Buttler made both the DC skipper and management regret that decision by playing a stellar innings of 116 runs off just 65 balls.

With Buttler’s astonishing batting display, RR put up a gigantic score of 222 at a loss of two wickets. Coming out to chase the humongous figure, the DC batters displayed a fighting spirit to take the game deep with the help of the rapid knocks from David Warner (28 runs off 14 balls), Rishabh Pant (44 off 24 deliveries), and Lalit Yadav (37 off 24 balls).

In the last over, DC had to notch up 36 runs to clinch the match. Taking the strike, Rovman Powell smashed three sixes on the first three deliveries off RR's Obed McCoy.&nbsp;

On the third delivery, McCoy bowled a full toss that seemed above Powell's waist height but the on-field umpires neither called it a no-ball nor referred it to the third umpire. Noting these scenes from the dugout, an <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/disappointed-but-cant-do-much-rishabh-pant-on-no-ball-controversy-in-final-over/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">angry Pant</a> protested and was about to call both batters back.

Shane Watson tried to calm down a frustrated-looking Pant but the DC skipper was in no mood to hear anything and sent assistant coach Pravin Amre to speak with the umpires on the matter. Finally, after a long drama, the match resumed and DC had to oblige to the umpires’ decision.

In the end, the contest was won by the Royals by 15 runs, and Pant was <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2022-rishabh-pant-fined-100-percent-match-fee-pravin-amre-banned-for-code-of-conduct-breach/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fined</a> hundred percent of his match fees. Former cricketers like Mohammed Azharuddin, Hemang Badani, RP Singh, and Brad Hogg criticised Pant’s reaction on Twitter.

4. Danushka Gunathilaka sexual assault case

During the ICC T20 World Cup 2022, the Sri Lankan team failed to reach the semi-final after delivering dismal performances. Heartbroken after the team’s failed journey in the World T20 competition, Sri Lankan fans had to face embarrassment when batter Danushka Gunathilaka got arrested on November 6 by the Australian Police.

According to Sydney police, the 31-year-old Sri Lanka cricketer was accused of sexual assault by a 29-year-old woman, whom he met via an online dating app.

Earlier this year, in the month of October, Nepal cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane was also arrested on rape charges by a 17-year-old girl, and in a gap of just one month, with Gunathilaka’s arrest, that too in a rape case, the cricketing world went into another shock. Right after the incident, Sri Lanka Cricket also took stern action against their cricketer by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/sri-lanka-cricket-suspend-danushka-gunathilaka-from-all-forms-of-cricket-following-sexual-assault-allegations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspending</a> him from all forms of cricket with immediate effect.

On November 17, after spending 11 days behind bars, Gunathilaka got released from police custody after getting a bail from Sydney’s Downing Centre court. The cricketer won’t be allowed to leave Australia until further notice as his passport has also been frozen.

The Men in Blue held their nerves to win a thrilling contest by five runs against Bangladesh in the Super 12 match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. After India’s victory, Bangladesh wicket-keeper Nurul Hasan sparked a controversy by saying that his team should have been awarded five penalty runs as Virat Kohli <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/t20-world-cup-2022-nurul-hasan-accuses-virat-kohli-of-fake-fielding/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">faked</a> a throw.&nbsp;

The incident, Nurul was referring to, happened during the seventh over of Bangladesh’s innings, before the rain interruption. On the second delivery of the seventh over, Litton Das played a shot towards the left of sweeper cover. Arshadeep, who was deployed there received the ball and threw it back but at the same time, Kohli also feigned a shy at the stumps.

Enraged by the incident, many Bangladesh fans targetted the umpires for being biased and not penalising India for the fake fielding incident. Citing the MCC law, the supporters of the Bangla Tigers also went on to say that the delivery bowled by Axar should’ve been declared dead and the umpires should’ve awarded five penalty runs to their team as Kohli with his action tried to distract both the batters in the middle.

2. Tim Paine’s scathing allegations

Former red-ball skipper of Australia, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Tim+Paine" title="Tim Paine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tim Paine</a>, rocked the cricketing world yet again through his book by charging the South African team of ball tampering in the fourth Test match played between Australia and South Africa at the Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg in 2018 after Australia got hit by the infamous sandpapergate. Paine also wrote that the match broadcasters were also complicit in the Proteas’ wrongdoing by hiding the footage of tampering.&nbsp;

Going further, he also accused Cricket Australia (CA) of betraying him after the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/tim-paine-sexting-scandal-here-are-the-text-exchanges-between-australian-cricketer-and-his-female-colleague/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sexting</a> scandal. Paine, who had decided to step down as the Australian Test captain saying “I believe that it is the right decision for me to stand down as captain, effective immediately,” made a lot of startling comments. The 37-year-old cricketer has claimed that if he had not relinquished the captaincy, Cricket Australia would’ve sacked him.&nbsp;

In his autobiography “The Price Paid” he also alleged that Cricket Australia (CA) abandoned him and made the matter look as if he had sexually harassed someone. He also wrote that CA didn’t handle the matter the way it was supposed to otherwise he would have continued as captain.&nbsp;

At Lord’s, India Women by defeating England Women in the third ODI by 16 runs gave a perfect farewell to their star Jhulan Goswami. With the win, Harmanpreet Kaur and her girls whitewashed the English Women in the bilateral ODI competition. But their victory was overshadowed by an incident that happened in the match.

Batting first, India Women got dismissed at a paltry 169, but the Indian bowlers with their unwavering spirit fought in the game and set the stage on fire by dismissing nine English batters at the score of 118. But <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/search/?q=Charlotte+Dean" title="Charlotte Dean" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlotte Dean</a> with her indomitable batting attitude hung in.

With just 17 required off 39 deliveries, the English team was cruising towards the win but <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/virat-kohli-jemimah-rodrigues-and-deepti-sharma-among-icc-player-of-the-month-nominees-for-october/" title="Deepti Sharma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deepti Sharma</a>, seeing the 21-year-old out of the crease before the delivery, used her astute mind and took advantage of the situation by running Dean out at the non-striker’s end to finish England's innings on 153 and sealed the victory for India.

The run-out sparked a huge debate as many cricketers stepped in by giving their views on the incident. While Michael Vaughan and James Anderson showed displeasure with Sharma’s way of dismissing Dean. On the other side, the 25-year-old also got backed by Jason Gillespie and Wasim Jaffer on the issue.&nbsp;

Let's go through five incidents that rocked the cricketing world in 2022.
