David Warner
Ricky Ponting
Monty Panesar
Andrew Symonds
Clearly, one of the finest all-rounders the game has ever seen but this fine player too fell into the trap of alcohol. He always loved his glass of drink but in 2009 he came under scanner for celebrating a warm-up game win vs New Zealand with a couple of bottles more than needed and was thrown out of the team.
Jesse Ryder
He was once seen as the next big thing in New Zealand cricket, arrived with a bang too vs India in 2009/10 but then booze and a flashy lifestyle led to his downfall. He was once attacked by a mob in a bar in Christchurch which almost took his life. He recovered and came back to cricket but he was no more the same player.
