5 rival-pairs who were forced to play for the same team

#1 Harbhajan Singh-Andrew Symonds

The bitter rivals during that infamous Test match

On-field spats, allegations of racial abuse, better known as 'Monkeygate', and then a judicial hearing. The Harbhajan Singh-Andrew Symonds spat has to be one of the biggest in modern cricket history. The pair's confrontation threatened to completely destroy the relations between Cricket Australia and the BCCI.

Harbhajan was eventually acquitted of the charges of racial abuse, but the relations between the two cricketers and the teams took a long time to recover. Three years after the infamous 'Monkeygate' episode, Symonds got a contract from Mumbai Indians and the two bitter rivals were forced to play together. Although there were no incidents, it is hard to accept that they put the past behind them.
