10 most Trolled cricketers in the world

7. KL Rahul

KL Rahul started his international career with a bang in December 2014. In the initial phase of his career, he looked incredible with his bat and helped the Indian team to win a lot of games with his match-winning performances. In the last few years, his performance has witnessed a huge plunge.

In recent times, Rahul has been a favourite target of online trolls due to his non-performance. During the 2022 T20 World Cup, Indian cricket fans came heavily on Rahul after he failed to produce effective knocks from his bat in the first two matches. Following his brief nine-run knock against the Netherlands, a lot of Twitter users accused Rahul of being the biggest fraud in world cricket.

Rahul became the victim of trolls again in May 2023 when a video of him surfaced on social media, in which he was allegedly spotted partying at a club. The video drew immediate reactions from trolls as they accused the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) of spending money on Rahul’s visit to the club. Earlier, in the same month, Rahul talked about the social media trolling on the Ranveer Show. He said that trolling affected him and other players from time to time.
