Manoj Prabhakar
(Former India Cricketer)
A regular in the Indian side back in the 90s, Manoj Prabhakar was one of those rare breed of cricketers who opened the innings with both bat and ball. A sweing bowler, who on his day could be a force to reckon with, Prabhakar transformed himself from a handy lower-order batsman to a platform-laying opener. His career ended in ignominy though after he was booed on his home ground at Delhi after getting slaughtered by Sri Lanka during the 1996 World Cup.

Prabhakar was dismissed from his coaching role with the Delhi Cricket team in 2011 for publicly criticizing the players and selectors.
