4 famous cricket fights that led to bans

#1 Afridi threatens a spectator

Shahid Afridi received a ban of four ODIs for his misdemeanour

In the first ODI between Pakistan and South Africa at Centurion in 2007, South Africa scored 392 and Pakistan were faltering in their run-chase. Things got bad when Shahid Afridi was dismissed cheaply.

While walking back to the dressing room, he heard a South African spectator asking ‘Boom Boom’ to go back to Pakistan. Afridi stopped, threw his bat at the man and almost hit his face. Eventually, Pakistan lost the match by 164 runs.

They won the next match in which Afridi scored a magnificent 77. However, after the third game of the series, the all-rounder was banned by match referee Chris Broad for four ODI matches.
