Mike Denness vs The Indian Cricket Team – November 2001
Mike Denness, previous England Captain and the match official for the India versus South Africa Test match in Port Elizabeth in 2001, blended probably the greatest discussion on the planet cricket. The issue acquired worldwide notification when Sachin Tendulkar, everything being equal, was blamed for ball altering charge and gave a match boycott. The English ref didn’t stop there. He gave a Test match boycott to Virender Sehwag, Deep Dasgupta, Harbhajan Singh and Shiv Sunder Das for over the top engaging. He likewise restricted the then Indian Captain Sourav Ganguly for one Test match and two ODIs for neglecting to monitor his group.
These allegations created a genuine commotion in India. While the Indian Cricket fans went to roads and consumed Denness models, the Indian Parliament named Denness as a ‘bigot’. ICC upheld Denness, however Cricket South Africa agreed with BCCI and didn’t allow Denness to direct the following Test Match. ICC proclaimed the third Test Match informal. The world cricket administering body, in the long run, toppled the restriction on Sachin and Ganguly.
Greg Chappell Vs Sourav Ganguly – 2005 to 2007
Greg Chappell’s two-year transfer from 2005 to 2007 was twisted by a few contentions, including the notorious public disagreement with then captain Sourav Ganguly. Everything began during India’s visit through Zimbabwe in 2005. Chappell’s tendency to drop Ganguly from the Test side went poorly with then Indian Captain. The hole augmented when the spilled email from Chappell uncovered the mentor’s hatred towards the Indian captain.
Not long after the visit, the selectors terminated Ganguly as the commander refering to his average presentation. They dropped Ganguly from the ODI side as well.

Angered India captain Anil Kumble remarked that “just one group had played in the soul of the game.”
Because of BCCI’s demand, ICC removed Steve Bucknor for the Third test match and replaces him with Billy Bowden.
The issue took an alternate measurement when Symonds blamed Harbhajan Singh for racial maltreatment and match arbitrator Mike Procter restricted the off-spinner for three test matches. India nearly pulled out from the visit in light of the unreasonable prohibition on their ace spinner; however ICC interceded to diminish the pressure between the two nations. ICC shaped a disciplinary board to investigate the issue which provoked India to proceed with the visit. The searing Indian side at that point proceeded to win the following Test Match at Perth. On 28 January, the disciplinary council lifted Harbhajan’s three-coordinate Test ban and gave him a match fine, finishing this harsh adventure.
Match-fixing Scandal – 1999 – 2000
