Even Australia’s greatest captain Ricky Ponting has been marred by many controversies throughout his career. Probably his lowest point however was in 1999 when the right-hand batter was thrown out of the Equinox disco at the Peerless Hotel in Kolkata after trying to crash a party there. Ponting went into a scuffle with security and came out with a bruised eye. The three times World Cup winner was later fined by Cricket Australia.
