8 most disgraceful acts in the history of Cricket

The only 'Suraj Randiv' moment in international cricket

During the third ODI between India and Sri Lanka in 2010 at the Rangiri Dambulla stadium in Dambulla, Sri Lanka were dismissed for just 170, thanks to Pragyan Ojha's 3/36 and a brace each from Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma.

Chasing a modest total, India lost the wickets of opener Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma early before Virender Sehwag took charge. The Nawab of Najafgarh stitched two crucial partnerships worth 50 and 80 with Suresh Raina and skipper MS Dhoni respectively.

With just one run needed to win and Sehwag batting on 99, he danced down the track and slammed a Suraj Randiv delivery over long-off for a six. Sehwag celebrated what would have been his 13th ODI century, only to be told later the six didn't count because Randiv overstepped and India won the match with that extra run.

After the match, a furious Sehwag said Randiv had bowled the no-ball deliberately, and that the move "has no place in good cricket". Eventually, Randiv was banned for a match for his poor sportsmanship by bowling a no-ball and his skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan was fined 50% of his match fees.

This incident is probably the only reason why a majority of the cricket fans remember Suraj Randiv.
