#4 Simon Katich-Gautam Gambhir fight, 2008 Delhi
Gautam Gambhir is one Indian cricketer who has been in the thick of things throughout his career. The incident in question took place in the third Test match of the 2008 series in Delhi.
Gambhir had been in tremendous form in the series and believed in giving the Aussies a taste of their own medicine. VVS Laxman had played a straight drive off Simon Katich’s bowling and the ball deflected off Katich’s hand.
Gambhir, who was at the non-striker’s end, found himself behind the bowler. The result was that Katich could not field the ball and Gambhir couldn’t take a run.
This irked the Delhi batsman and he began his rant aginst Katich following which umpire, Billy Bowden, had to step in to bring back normalcy.
It is interesting to note that on the same day, Gambhir got involved in an elbow-pushing incident with Shane Watson. Gambhir, though, went on to score a double century but was later on banned for one Test match.
