In keeping with the topic of cricket and sex, it's time to look back at the game's more legendary gossip makers, whose off-field exploits gained as much attention as their stats and figures on the field. Sumit Mukherjee compiles a list in the Times of India.
IMRAN KHAN: A lady-killer in the true sense of the word. The ruggedly-handsome pathan from Pakistan made maidens swoon on either side of LoC. Women found his killer looks and his flamboyance on the field hard to resist. Of his many dalliances, the one with Bollywood star Zeenat Aman received most publicity, but it was his link with Sita White, the daughter of an English tycoon, that all but ruined his reputation. Imran allegedly sired a daughter out of wedlock through Sita before he became involved with Jemima who he later married and divorced. He is also alleged to have had a relationship with the late PM of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto.
