3. Jelly Bean Incident (2007):
India’s memorable victory in Trent Bridge during the 2007 tour turned sour due to an ugly ‘jelly-gate’ incident. The already ill-tempered game became ugly when the England players tried to play a prank with Zaheer Khan. When the Indian player came to the crease to bat, he spotted some jellybeans around his crease. Without paying much heed to it, he removed it and played the next ball only to find more jellybeans on the pitch.
Infuriated with the English players’ gesture, Zaheer started shouting and waving his bat towards Kevin Pietersen. Umpires intervened in time to avoid any nasty incident.
