2. Kevin Pietersen

In the year 2010, Kevin Pietersen was dropped from the England side for a series against Pakistan. The selectors’ decision didn’t go down too well with Pietersen, who instead used abusive language to vent his anger on Twitter. 

However, later he deleted that post and came up with an apology. 

“It came out in the way that I didn’t want it to come out. It was something that wasn’t meant for the public domain and I apologize for it entering the public domain and I also want to apologize for the language I used. It wasn’t anything against the England selectors or the England setup. I was pretty upset about my own form and frustrated about it too,” he said.
