5 players who revived their careers after major setbacks

#3 Herschelle Gibbs

Former South African opening batsman, Herschelle Gibbs has entertained audiences worldwide during his 15-year long international career. An explosive batsman, Gibbs made international debut for his country in 1996 and cemented his place in SA's playing eleven, forming a good partnership with Gary Kirsten.

No stranger to conflict, Gibbs was sidelined by the South African cricket association for marijuana use during a tour of the West Indies. Furthermore, Gibbs faced more issues off the field as he was caught up in a match-fixing scandal that saw Hansie Cronje banned for life and Gibbs receiving a six-month ban from cricket.

Having served his sentence and faced criticism for his behaviour, Gibbs re-found his form on the field, showcasing brilliant batting performances and behaving maturely and professionally.

A fiery character with great focus and technique with the bat and as a fielder, Gibbs produced some fascinating moments that will live in the memory of cricket fans through the ages.
