Top 5 fights between cricketers in IPL history

#4 Shane Warne and Sourav Ganguly, IPL 2008

Things went a bit affray between Warne and Ganguly during IPL 2008

The altercation

Indian and Australian cricketers have shared fiery on-field moments over the years and the very first edition of the IPL saw two legends of the game write a new chapter in Indo-Aussie altercations.

The protagonists of the altercation were two legends in Sourav Ganguly and vile leg-spinner Shane Warne. KKR were up against Rajasthan Royals when Ganguly was thought to have been caught by Graeme Smith at deep mid-wicket.

However, Ganguly was not fully convinced about the conclusiveness of the catch and illegitimately asked the umpires to refer to the third umpire and when Asad Rauf could not make a decision, an infuriated Shane Warne lost his cool.

The fallout

Ganguly eventually departed but Warne carried the spat off the field when he expressed his disappointment toward Ganguly in the post-match press conference. Along with Ganguly and Warne, who were sanctioned 10 percent of their match fees, Pratap Kumar, the on-field umpire was slapped with a one-match suspension on grounds of referring a decision without conclusive reason.
