After making a place in the Indian ODI team in 2005, Sreesanth came to the Test team in 2006 and created a ruckus. Sreesanth’s biggest role was in helping India win for the first time in Johannesburg on the South Africa tour that year.

Sreesanth always remained in discussions and many times controversies were also involved in this. He was part of Kings XI Punjab in the first season of IPL in 2008 and during that time his team defeated Mumbai Indians.

But his career saw the worst moment in 2013 when the finicky pacer was banned for life for his alleged involvement in an IPL spot-fixing scandal. It took a long time for Sreesanth to get his name removed from the match-fixing scandal. In 2019, the Supreme Court reduced his ban to seven years and in 2020-21, he participated in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy for Kerala. (Photo: AFP/PTI)
