Mohammad Azharuddin What a waste, one has to say. Azharuddin had been there for a long time, a veteran in the field in every regards, he had seen them all and played them all, statistically one of the most successful captains Indian cricket has ever seen, someone the country was proud of; that was, until 2000. After 2000 he is a disgrace to his team and his country, someone they just want to forget, a skeleton in their closet. Being someone who spent 16 years in the international cricket arena, who had 15500 plus international runs, he could have made a great exit. But, greed was standing tall and he couldn't say no to the dollars coming in, and ended up with a lifetime ban post the 2000 match fixing scandal. Ajay Sharma He was a prolific run-maker in the first-class cricket who first played cricket under Mohinder Amrarnath for Delhi in 1984. He was an exceptional batsman who scored 31 centuries with an average of approximately 80 in Ranji cricket and scored four centuries for Delhi out of six Ranji Trophy finals he played. However, he had a poor show in the ODIs with just 424 runs at a batting average of 20.19 in 31 matches. He played just one test match for India. He has been given a life ban from cricket upon charges of match fixing. Ajay is accused of having passed the information of weather and pitch to a famous bookie M K Gupta. It?s also said that he introduced Mohammad Azharuddin and Manoj Prabhakar to Gupta. He is accused of his close association with bookies and punters like M K Gupta and Ajay Gupta and has reportedly acted as a medium between the players and the betting syndicates.
