5 times players who were banned for strange reasons

#1 Ravindra Jadeja

The freshest of this lot is Ravindra Jadeja's one-match ban in the ongoing India vs Sri Lanka. He was accused of throwing the ball inappropriately at the other player during the match.

After having delivered a ball to Sri Lankan batsmen Dimuth Karunaratne, Jadeja collected the ball and threw it back at the batsman. The on-field umpire concluded that the ball was hurled in a dangerous manner.

This added three more demerit points to his name. Earlier, this world's best Test bowler was handed three demerit points during India's home series against New Zeland. Jadeja was accused of damaging the pitch by ceaselessly running down the middle of it.

His total points added up to six thereby, resulting in his suspension from the third test of the series.

Soon after the decision, Jadeja posted an image on Twitter which was assumed as a response to the ban. This may not be true, but it certainly abided by the expectations that one holds from Jadeja's flair.

Well, they call him Sir Jadeja for a reason.
