4 times players were caught altering the condition of the ball

#4 Faf du Plessis

Australia v South Africa, Hobart, 2016

After being proven guilty of rubbing the ball on the zipper of his pants pocket and fined 50 percent of his match fee at Dubai in 2013, Faf du Plessis was charged with ball tampering three years later.

In 2016, the Protea Captain was accused of using mint saliva to alter the condition of the ball. South Africa had just clinched a resounding Test victory over Australia in their own den at Hobart when the footage of du Plessis emerged. As a result, the skipper was handed three demerit points as per the ICC Code of Conduct.
