Faf Du Plessis was caught in one of the most common illegal acts in the world of cricket which is ball tampering on the third day of the 2nd test against Pakistan in Dubai.
However AB De Villiers protested against the allegations saying that South Africa is not a team who scratches the ball, Du Plessis agreed to the allegations. Ball tampering has been in the game of cricket since the early stages when the game evolved.
Here are 5 cases of ball tampering which were caught on camera :
Wasim Akram (1992) : Wasim Akram was accused of ball tampering in the year 1992 against England when he was swinging the ball like a maestro. The new found Pakistani talent made the English batsmen dance to his tunes with the ball as he was bowling splendidly. There was no action taken against Wasim Akram as nothing was ever proved.
