Indian team have had several phenomenal batsmen in past but only a few of them have made the world stand tall to acknowledge their greatness. Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/naseeruddin-shah-reveals-his-all-time-india-playing-xi-also-prefers-rahul-dravid-over-sachin-tendulkar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rahul Dravid</strong></a> and some more. But if we see closely, none of them became a charismatic skipper or enjoyed a long term as an Indian captain. However, Virat Kohli, the modern-day great is handling the leadership role for quite some time now and has enjoyed his run.

He became the first Asian skipper to win a Test series in Australia in 2018-19. Virat also has a win percentage of 71.83 in ODIs but still, he is not recognized as a genuine leader. He is aggressive and wears his heart on his sleeve, he is the most followed cricketer on social media but still, his achievements as a skipper haven&#8217;t been appreciated enough.

The RCB skipper started his career as a young prodigy and his bashy behaviour was under the scanner during his initial days. Having <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/theres-zero-clarity-on-the-issue-of-rohit-sharmas-fitness-sanjay-manjrekar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Rohit Sharma</strong></a>, the most successful IPL captain as his deputy also adds pressure on him as there have been several calls to make him the limited-overs skipper. Also, despite his unbelievable batting prowess, he is one of the most &#8216;not liked&#8217; cricketers in India.

Here are the five reasons why Indian fans dislike Virat Kohli:-

Virat Kohli likes to be involved in the game rather than sitting back. He is always into the game whether speaking to the bowler, shining the ball, with his phenomenal fielding and sometimes by sledging the opposition players. Even Australians, who originated sledging and are known as the best ones to use this tactic avoid sledging the Indian captain.

Kohli knows how to get under their skin and he took them on when India toured Down Under. But when the Delhi lad plays in IPL, the opposition team has Indian players as well. Considering the type of player Kohli is, he cannot let the other team win easily and he has sledged the opposition Indian players as well. It started with Virat Kohli and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rohit-sharma-should-lead-india-in-limited-overs-gautam-gambhir/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Gautam Gambhir</strong></a> getting involved in a heated spat on the field during IPL 2013 and the same has continued.

He had a stare-game with Suryakumar Yadav and he said some words to Manish Pandey in IPL 2020 as well. However, Kohli considers it as a part of the game and as these players were in the opposition team, he had all the rights to say anything on the field. But the fans do not like such behaviour from the Indian captain as the designation brings some dignity along with it.

Virat Kohli has an outstanding record as a captain but he is yet to win a trophy. He has captained India in 2017 Champions Trophy and 2019 <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-final-is-the-biggest-thing-after-world-cup-final-kieron-pollard/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>World Cup</strong></a> but the team was knocked out in the Final and the Semi-Final respectively. His decisions were criticized in the World Cup and he saw a major backlash.

In IPL as well, he has captained RCB for 8 consecutive years now without clinching his first title. He is the only skipper to do so and fans do not stop trolling him over this fact. Also, his deputy, Rohit Sharma has won 5 IPL titles in the same 8-year duration and this has put more emphasis on Kohli&#8217;s failure.

While winning a trophy justifies the quality of a leader but RCB haven&#8217;t been a strong bowling side over the years. Team India also looked flawless till their last game in 2019 World Cup but a poor show for &#8217;15 minutes&#8217; eliminated them from the tournament. However, being the leader, Kohli is responsible for the team&#8217;s performance as fans want India to bring the gold home.

India is always known as a peaceful country with a rich tradition and several uncompromising values. In the past Indian skippers have followed the same dignity and they have been of a particular type. Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/you-will-play-next-3-games-whether-you-score-a-run-or-not-ms-dhonis-words-that-freed-up-ruturaj-gaikwads-mind/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>MS Dhoni</strong></a> and even Rohit Sharma have been quite similar.

However, if we look at Kohli, he is different, he is more of an Aussie donning an Indian jersey.

4. Virat Kohli&#8217;s better batting record than their favourite batsman

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-383143" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-9.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-383143" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Virat Kohli is arguably the best all-format batsman of his generation. He scored more than 20,000 runs in the last decade, which players fail to score in their entire career. Justin Langer, the Australian coach named him &#8220;the best batsman he has ever seen&#8221; and his unmatchable record speaks for itself.

He has scored 70 international centuries and just 30 more will take him to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-wants-use-of-helmet-mandatory-for-batsmen-at-professional-levels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar</strong></a>&#8216;s formidable record. He is compared to Tendulkar and all the other greats of previous generations. This makes the world to notice his greatness and this has made him the most valuable brand of cricket as well.

However, Indian cricket fans who have loved different cricketers over the years have now seen the rise of Virat Kohli. They might not like him to get ahead in numbers than their favourite cricketers. The rate at which the Indian skipper is scoring runs, he is expected to break all the batting aggregate records and apparently, some of the fans do not want that to happen.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-378934" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-1-1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-378934" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Virat Kohli joined the Indian team as a young marvel and was fast-tracked into the set-up. As he was a talented youngster, he made a name for himself quite quickly. However, along with his brilliant batting, his bashy behaviour and his lifestyle came under scrutiny. He was making tons of runs but his tattoos and his ear-studs were getting more limelight.

His spat with <strong>Australia</strong>&#8216;s fans also faced a lot of criticism and similar events have followed since then. He is considered arrogant for his gestures on the field but if we see closely, that&#8217;s his &#8216;X-factor&#8217;. How many Indian skippers have gone on to sledge Australians in their backyard and successfully play with their mind? Virat Kohli, end of the list.

However, it is not the achievements we always talk about, it is the personality. When we speak about Sachin Tendulkar, we speak about his straight drive, with Dravid, it&#8217;s his resilience, with Dhoni, it is his World Cup-winning six but with Virat, it&#8217;s his ability to get better off the opponent by hook or by crook. However, it doesn&#8217;t matter how we portray it, he is considered arrogant and Indian fans do not like it.

<p>Indian team have had several phenomenal batsmen in past but only a few of them have made the world stand tall to acknowledge their greatness.

<p>Virat Kohli is arguably the best all-format batsman of his generation. He scored more than 20,000 runs in the last decade, which players fail to score in their entire career. Justin Langer, the Australian coach named him &#8220;the best batsman he has ever seen&#8221; and his unmatchable record speaks for itself.</p>
<p>He has scored 70 international centuries and just 30 more will take him to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sachin-tendulkar-wants-use-of-helmet-mandatory-for-batsmen-at-professional-levels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar</strong></a>&#8216;s formidable record. He is compared to Tendulkar and all the other greats of previous generations. This makes the world to notice his greatness and this has made him the most valuable brand of cricket as well.</p>
<p>However, Indian cricket fans who have loved different cricketers over the years have now seen the rise of Virat Kohli. They might not like him to get ahead in numbers than their favourite cricketers. The rate at which the Indian skipper is scoring runs, he is expected to break all the batting aggregate records and apparently, some of the fans do not want that to happen.</p>
<h3>5. Fans consider Virat Kohli arrogant</h3>

<p>Virat Kohli joined the Indian team as a young marvel and was fast-tracked into the set-up. As he was a talented youngster, he made a name for himself quite quickly. However, along with his brilliant batting, his bashy behaviour and his lifestyle came under scrutiny. He was making tons of runs but his tattoos and his ear-studs were getting more limelight.</p>
<p>His spat with <strong>Australia</strong>&#8216;s fans also faced a lot of criticism and similar events have followed since then. He is considered arrogant for his gestures on the field but if we see closely, that&#8217;s his &#8216;X-factor&#8217;. How many Indian skippers have gone on to sledge Australians in their backyard and successfully play with their mind? Virat Kohli, end of the list.</p>
<p>However, it is not the achievements we always talk about, it is the personality. When we speak about Sachin Tendulkar, we speak about his straight drive, with Dravid, it&#8217;s his resilience, with Dhoni, it is his World Cup-winning six but with Virat, it&#8217;s his ability to get better off the opponent by hook or by crook. However, it doesn&#8217;t matter how we portray it, he is considered arrogant and Indian fans do not like it.</p>

Though Kohli has been a brilliant batsman for India, there is a section of fans which dislike him.
