#15 S Sreesanth
Life has taken Sreesanth, the man who took the catch which won India the 2007 World T20 to many places, and he has experienced his immense highs and immense lows. Despite having immense talent, Sreesanth never quite cemented his place in the Indian side, and was constantly in and out between the 2007 World T20 and the 2011 ICC World Cup, being a member of both winning sides.
However, after the 2011 World Cup, Sreesanth fell out of favour with the selectors and was dropped permanently from the Indian side. His last international match came in August 2011, and his last game in professional cricket came in May 2013, after which he was banned for life due to his involvement in the 2013 IPL spot-fixing scandal.
Even though Sreesanth has always maintained that he was innocent in the matter, the investigating authorities found him to be involved, and this involvement had dire consequences for the bowler from Kerala. It not only led to the BCCI disciplinary committee banning him for life (as mentioned before) but it also resulted in Sreesanth becoming extremely unpopular among fans.
Despite several attempts at appealing the life ban that was handed to him, Sreesanth has been unable to return to professional cricket. Instead, he has ventured into the entertainment industry, having made appearances on several reality television shows and is due to make his film debut soon.
