3. David Warner
The swashbuckling Australian opener had to face the wrath of the boisterous England crowd as the infamous incident between him and England international Joe Root became public. Warner punched Root in an ugly altercation that took place in a pub and he was severely scrutinized for that.
The England crowd, however, found their own way of humiliating Warner as they mimicked his infamous punch. Warner went to the boundary to collect the ball when he saw the fans doing the heckling act. He was left with a wry smile on his face.
Controversies have always surrounded the man from Australia and it was surely one of them.
