On 1 June 2002, cricket became the witness of a big accident. On this day, 18 years ago, former South Africa captain Hansi Cronje was killed in a plane crash. D. The accident occurred near George, a city in the Western Cape of Africa. His death was like a mystery, the reason for which was not revealed. However, two years ago he had 'ruined' his cricketing career by being stuck in match fixing.
The year 2000 is considered to be the darkest chapter of world cricket. In the same year, the biggest revelation before fixing in cricket stirred the cricket world. Hansi Cronje, the then South African captain, was the first villain of this black chapter.
On 11 April 2000, Cronje confessed that he had a major role in fixing. In early April, reports of Cronje being involved in fixing emerged from India. Which was mostly related to phone conversations. But the crony kept denying the allegations of fixing.
In the cricket world, Cronje had great respect, no one would have thought that this African man could actually do this. D. Africa Cricket Board (UCBSA) MD Ali Becher also had full faith in Cronje's honesty. But four days after the accusation, Cronje confessed to calling Becher at three in the morning, 'I am not completely honest.'
