User "system:anonymous" cannot create resource "pods" in API group "" in the namespace "default" - apache-spark

Question

I'm trying to run Spark on EKS. Created an EKS cluster, added nodes and then trying to submit a Spark job from an EC2 instance.
Ran following commands for access:
kubectl create serviceaccount spark
kubectl create clusterrolebinding spark-role --clusterrole=admin --serviceaccount=default:spark --namespace=default
spark-submit command used:
bin/spark-submit \
--master k8s://https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.us-east-1.eks.amazonaws.com \
--deploy-mode cluster \
--name spark-pi \
--class org.apache.spark.examples.SparkPi \
--conf spark.executor.instances=2 \
--conf spark.app.name=spark-pi \
--conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.driver.serviceAccountName=spark \
--conf spark.kubernetes.container.image=k8sspark:latest \
--conf spark.kubernetes.authenticate.submission.caCertFile=ca.pem \
local:////usr/spark-2.4.3-bin-hadoop2.7/examples/jars/spark-examples_2.11-2.4.3.jar 100000
It returns:

Tried creating different clusterrole with admin privilege. But it did not work.
Any idea how to fix this one?
