After cricket, Navjot Singh Sidhu turned to politics

We all know Navjot Singh Sidhu for his cheesy four-liners during commentary and cricket analysis shows on the TV.

However, the Patiala-born batsman was once charged of homicide. He was convicted of murdering a person named Gurnam Singh by beating him to death. In 2006, Sidhu was proven guilty and was given a 3-year sentence in prison. However that did not prove to be a hindrance in his political aspirations and he contested elections even during his trials.

In his heydays, Sidhu was dashing opener who could score at a high strike rate. He played 51 Tests and 136 ODIS for India from 1983 to 1999.
