5 Cricketers who returned to play after facing a ban
3) Herschelle Gibbs
A backword point specialist and a merciless opening batsman, Gibbs is a South African super-hero. His career was no less than a blockbuster movie with records, failures and controversies featuring in bits and pieces. One innings that will be remembered the most, is his 175 off 111 balls while successfully chasing down a target of 434 set by Australia at Johannesburg.
Gibbs was involved in a match-fixing controversy with Hansie Cronje. He was reportedly offered $15, 000 to score less than 20 runs in the third ODI against India. He later explained that he did not keep up to his end of the bargain as he scored 74 in that match. As a result he was banned for only six months.
