Manoj Prabhakar No Indian would ever forget the 1995 - 96 World Cup match against Sri Lanka(4 overs, 47runs), how Prabhakar got slaughtered and the aftermath of it. He was a good all-rounder, until he decided to let go of it all for a fistful of dollars. He was dropped from the team post that one match and he immediately retired. That did not stop him from trying to implicate others in match fixing, a great strategy he might have thought, but the world had a very different opinion on the same. He was banned for his involvement in match fixing and had to carry all the disgrace forward. Ajay Jadeja A regular in the Indian cricket team since 92, played in 15 tests and 196 ODIs for his team, had 6 centuries and 34 half-centuries to his credit, considered among the best fielders of world cricket; Jadeja was a legend in making, until the misstep he took in 2000. He was part of the infamous match fixing scandal of 2000, which literally ended his career along with many other contemporaries. He received a 5 year ban from BCCI, a decision that was overturned by the Delhi High Court after a few years, which literally put an end to his international career. He had all that any cricketer to could ever dream of, but that wasn't enough for him.
