#4 Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja's fight with James Anderson

Ravindra Jadeja and James Anderson

India's 2014 tour of England started brightly enough for the visitors when they drew the first Test match at Nottingham, but behind the scenes, controversy was brewing. England fast bowler James Anderson, known for his abrasive nature on the field, just before lunch on the 2nd day at Trent Bridge, was involved in a sledging match with Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.

It continued when the players walked off for lunch and in the corridor, Jadeja's partner and Indian captain MS Dhoni alleged that Anderson had pushed the all-rounder.

Dhoni took up the matter at the end of the Test match and the incensed Indian captain forced the team manager Sunil Dev to lodge a complaint against Anderson. The English media went into a frenzy stating that the Indian team wanted to take out the opposition's best bowler but eventually, Anderson was charged with a level 3 offence.

However, a twist was still in the offing. The authorities at Trent Bridge claimed that there was no CCTV footage of the incident and Anderson got away scot-free.
