Top 10 controversies from IPL 2016

3) Gautam Gambhir kicking a chair

Gambhir was one of the most controversial captains in this IPL tournament

It is natural for a captain to express his joy after his team’s win. But the Kolkata Knight Riders skipper went a step too far after a scintillating victory over the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

KKR looked out of the contest at one stage and it was the partnership between Andre Russell and Yusuf Pathan which brought them back to the game. They won the match but it was not their win which only made the headlines.

The Gambhir incident took place when the fourth ball of the 19th over was swept to the square leg boundary by Surya Kumar Yadav. The boundary brought down the equation to two runs off eight balls and the captain just couldn't control himself.

All the while he was sitting in the dugout with his pads on and watching an incredible fight-back by Pathan and Russell but as soon as the ball touched the ropes, the KKR skipper got up from his chair and kicked it down while shouting loud.
