New Delhi: Cricket is called gentleman's Game but at times, these gentlemen just could not control their angers from running high.Here is the list of 10 most short-tempered cricketers of the world.Virat Kohli (India)Virat Kohli is an iconic young cricketer with some serious issues regarding his temper. There have been a number of issues where his anger lit up the field. Virat Kohli, irritated by an abusive group of spectators, stuck out his middle finger at his hecklers on the second day of the Sydney Test.Harbhajan Singh (India)Harbhajan was probably one of the players in Indian cricketing history. Who was always surrounded by controversies mainly due to his anger management issues. He was banned for three test matches for calling Andrew Symonds a “monkey” in 2008. Other incidents include a verbal war with Shoaib Akhtar in Asia Cup final and slapping fellow team mate Sreesanth in the Indian Premier League.Shane Warne (Australia)Shane Warne, considered amongst the greatest bowlers in history of cricket. He has been popular also for his short temper as in many matches in his career he has had a lot of arguments with the batsmen and the umpires and even his team mates.Andre Nel (South africa)He was a fast bowler of the South African cricket team and has now retired and playing country cricket. He was amongst most aggressive cricketers as he was famous for his anger on the field. He had been in the news for taunting the batsmen whenever he used to take their wicket. He had been fined many times in his career for his short temper on the field.Andrew Symonds (Australia)Andrew Symonds had an amazingly short temper which led to consequences ranging from a brawl at a pub to taking a smack at his own team mates. Due to his temperament he could not play for Australia as long as he should have.Javed Miandad (Pakistan)Javed Miandad. His infamous jumps at Kiran More are famous. One memorable incident took place when Dennis Lillee purposely blocked him which lead to the exchange of some well chosen swear words. In retaliation, Lillee aimed a kick at him. Unfortunately, the person he kicked was the short tempered Miandad, who was just a feet away from cracking Lillee's head open. Luckily the field umpire saved the day and no harm was done.Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan)Wasim Akram once said that if a pacer, after being whacked for six appreciates the batsman, he is not a true fast bowler. Similar was the case with the Rawalpindi Express Shoaib Akhtar. With his 150 kmph bullets and lethal stares, he was a rue fast bowler pumped with aggressiveness. Whether it was opening up Gary Kirsten with a cracking bouncer, attacking a team-mate with a bat or getting into verbal wars with Harbhajan Singh or Gautam Gambhir, Akhtar is regarded as one of the top short tempered cricketers of the world.Ian Botham (England)The English all-rounder was well known for his outspoken nature and anger management issues. Whether it was fighting with the passengers on the plane or getting into scuffles with fellow cricketers, Botham managed to stay in the headlines during his era.Balaji Rao (Canada)Some of you might remember the Canadian cricketer named Balaji Rao. Known for his rather eccentric actions on the field, Balaji Rao is famously remembered for an incident which took place in the 2011 cricket world cup. During a match against Pakistan, probably the players went too far to tease the Canadian leading to an eruption of swear words from Balaji Rao at the whole Pakistani team.Curtly Ambrose (West Indies)With his 6 feet 7 inch frame, Ambrose was the persona of intimidation. One memorable incident happened back in 1995, when the gigantic pacer was throwing, what might be meteors at the Australian legend Steve Waugh. It would have been a whole lot better if Waugh had just focused on the game but he didn't and swore at the bowler. This drove Ambrose crazy, who came charging in to maul Steve Waugh with what would have been a memorable beating. But thanks to the team mates he survived the day
