4. Shahid Afridi (Pakistan) vs Australia: 2010

A rare and highly debated ball-tampering incident unfolded when former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi was involved in an unusual act during an ODI against the Australian national cricket team at the WACA in Perth. Afridi was seen attempting to tamper with the ball bizarrely by biting it, an action that was clearly visible on broadcast cameras. 

The moment quickly drew global attention and criticism, given the strict regulations around maintaining the condition of the ball. Afridi later acknowledged his actions, and the incident resulted in a two-match suspension.
