Top 10 IPL controversies of all time

#9 Shah Rukh Khan banned from Wankhede Stadium for 5 years (2012)

Bollywood superstar and Kolkata Knight Riders co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was involved in an ego-fuelled altercation with a security guard at the Wankhede Stadium in the summer of 2012. Just after KKR had won the match against the Mumbai Indians, the star’s children and their friends were indulging in some fun and games on the playing surface.

When the security person attempted to get them off the ground, an incensed Shah Rukh indulged in a nasty brawl that gained national attention. The Mid-Day published an alleged transcript from the interaction and television channels had a field day playing up the controversy over the next few days. The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) subsequently held an investigation into the incident and banned the actor from entering the stadium for five years.
