Sydney police arrested Sri Lanka's Danushka Gunathilaka in November during T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia. The 31-year-old got accused of sexual assault by a woman, who he met online via dating app. Earlier in October, Nepali cricketer Sandeep Lamichhane was arrested after a 17-year-old girl accused him of rape.

In the 34th game of IPL 2022, played between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, Delhi required 36 runs off last over for the win. Rovaman Powell hammered three consecutive sixes off first three balls. The third delivery bowled by RR's Obed McCoy was a full toss, seemed above Powell's waist height. Rishabh Pant, DC skipper for that game, was absolutely livid after umpires neither called it a no-ball, nor they went upstairs to the third umpire for a referral. Pant got so angry that he was about to call both batters back to the dugout. In the end, RR defeated DC by 15 runs. Pic Courtesy: BCCI/IPL, Twitter
