#2 David Warner
David Warner, who is currently serving a ban for his involvement in ball tampering issue, has been involved in more than eight on and off-field issues in his career. Warner's temper got the better of him in Twitter when he blasted Tasmanian fast bowler, Brett Geeves, with a tirade of tweets.
He was banned by Cricket Australia for allegedly punching Joe Root at a bar after a Champions Trophy match in 2013. He was also involved in on-field incidents with players like Thami Tsolekile, Jonathan Trot, Varun Aaron, and Quinton de Kock before got caught in the infamous sand-paper scandal.
#3 Virat Kohli
Virat Kohli and controversies are like hand in glove. His erratic behavior on and off the field garnered a lot of criticisms from all corners of the world. Though he has curbed down his anger off-late, he is still pocket dynamite that can explode any time.
The Indian captain showed his finger to the Syndey crowd when they kept on abusing him and the team during India's visit to Australia in 2012. Then, during India's practice session at Australia in 2015, the Indian captain unnecessarily shouted with abusive words at a journalist for writing about his relationship with Anushka Sharma.
He also got involved with Gautam Gambir on an ugly spat during the IPL game in 2016. His issues with Anil Kumble resulted in the Indian legend resigning from the post of Indian coach.
