Rusty Theron takes the centre stage

IPL after-parties are one of the wildest parties to take place in the cricketing circle. Former South African all-rounder Rusty Theron was captured going wild while dancing after one of such games. Former  Australia fast bowler Brett Lee was also present during that time.

While Rusty looks to be a very good guy on the field; however, this side of him was hardly known.

Chris Gayle goes wild

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle has the most dynamic personality among cricketers across the globe. He truly represents the Jamaican culture and likes to party hard and is often seen with women around him.

However, it was too hot for Gayle too handle the three girls by her side.

Rohit Sharma shows his other side

Rohit Sharma is one of the calm and composed cricketers when it comes to the current Indian team. Besides, his dedication level is very high and time and again expresses his love for his wife. However, how was Rohit before his marriage?

The Mumbai-born cricketer was a party animal and was regular in after-parties during IPL matches. In one of those parties, Rohit was captured with Sofia Hayat in a cosy moment. The picture will surely embarrass Rohit if he sees it now.

Brian Lara shakes his leg

West Indies legend Brian Lara is one of the most respected cricketers in the scene. He has mainly focused on his career and the statistic speaks volume of his talent.

However, the left-handed prodigy had a glamourous career outside the game. Lara was caught in an embarrassing picture while dancing with one of the ladies.

Shoaib Akhtar posing after party

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar is known for living life in his own terms and speaking his mind. He has been at loggerheads with the Pakistan Cricket Board many a time.

The Rawalpindi Express was captured in an awkward position while posing for an image after a party.

Wayne Parnell at his best

The left-arm fast bowler from South Africa, Warne Parnell has failed to live up to the expectations. While he had a poor time on the field, Parnell has had a happening life outside the field.

He has been among the headlines for various wrong reasons and this kiss was also one of them.

Harbhajan Singh caught close

 

Veteran cricketer Harbhajan Singh never shy away from controversies. He blew away the hot quotient when he was seen too close with a woman during a party with the woman holding Harbhajan tightly.

This will surely embarrass Harbhajan if he takes a look at this picture now.

When Indian cricketers were caught wrongfooted

 

 

There is a very old proverb ‘ Cricket is a Gentleman’s game’. However, this image proves that it is not so on every occasion.

A young fan approached a group of Indian cricketers sitting. While she goes to one of the cricketers, the eyes of Dinesh Karthik, Robin Uthappa, along with Yuvraj Singh were caught off-guarded. This image had a very negative impact on Indian cricket.

Indian cricketers partying at the beach

Cricket and lavish parties go hand in hand. A few years ago, Indian cricketers were seen partying at the beach with unknown girls on the eve of the final match.

It was heavily criticised by the Indian media with BCCI also coming under the scanner. The likes of Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharam went gaga with random girls during that party.

 Chris Gayle at it again

During the interview after one of the BBL matches, Chris Gayle asked interviewer McLaughlin whether she would be interested in getting a drink with him and then said “don’t blush baby” when she became noticeably uncomfortable with his antics.

This created a lot of stir and Gayle’s hand to pay a hefty and apologize after Cricket Australia condemned the comments.
