During the Ranji Trophy semi-final game between Karnataka and Saurashtra in Bangalore, visiting team&#8217;s batsman Cheteshwar Pujara hogged the limelight for the umpiring decisions that went in his favour. Once each in the two innings, Pujara was reprieved by the umpire after edging it to the keeper. His unbeaten 4th innings century helped Saurashtra qualify for the final despite the fact that Karnataka took a handy first-innings lead in the game.

Pujara’s sportsmanship was under the scanner during the game as he did not walk despite having edged twice. The home crowd kept mocking India’s Test No.3 batsman as they were aware of the chance he was awarded would cost them the game. As a result, they were not warm to him. This was not the first time that an Indian player faced the heat of the Indian crowd. In fact, since the start of the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a>, this has become a common occurrence.

Here we look at the top five instances when Indian cricketers were booed by the Indian crowds:

5. Cheteshwar Pujara at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore:

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-312260" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Cheteshwar-Pujara-Saurashtra.jpg" alt="Cheteshwar Pujara" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-312260" class="wp-caption-text">Cheteshwar Pujara.

Cheteshwar Pujara was declared not out when he was batting on 1 in the first innings. The replays suggested the ball brushed Pujara’s glove. He ended up scoring 45 in that innings and helped in bringing down the first-innings deficient. While walking out to bat in the 2nd innings, Pujara was welcomed by chants of “Cheater” and “Cheater Pujara” from the home crowd.

In the second innings too, the Saurashtra’s biggie was reprieved while batting on 34. Once again, Pujara took his ground while umpire struck the appeal down. As a result, the Bangalore crowd continued the “Cheater Pujara” chants while he walked back to the pavilion during the Tea interval. However, the same crowd were in the appreciation of India’s No.3 after he brought up his hundred.

4. Virat Kohli at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai:

At present, no cricketer gets better reception at all venues like Virat Kohli. However, the star batsman had instances where he didn’t go well with the crowd; the too in India. While leading the RCB team in 2013, Kohli was at the end of negative reception at the Wankhede Stadium while facing the home team <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-mumbai-indians-predicted-xi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mumbai Indians</a>. The chants of “cheater Kohli” popped up after his direct hit from covers ran out Ambati Rayudu, whose bat was in air having collided with the bowler Vinay Kumar.

Kohli was a bit amused with the reception during the game. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what is wrong with people in this venue. It feels a bit weird because at the end of the day you play for India and you don&#8217;t come here to be hated,&#8221; he said after the game. Later in 2014, Wankhede resounded with &#8220;Anushka&#8221; chants as they referred Kohli by the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/meet-julia-michaels-the-doppelganger-of-anushka-sharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma</a> when the duo were in a relationship that turned into a marriage in late 2017. The game during the 2014 season witnessed an altercation between Mitchell Starc and Kieron Pollard.

3. Rahul Dravid and Team at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata:

The outrage was even more in his state where the people couldn’t digest the treatment to their beloved son. In such stage, India faced South Africa in the 3rd game of a 4-match ODI series which was levelled at 1-1. The association too seemed like exhibiting their distress as a green track was laid for the game that perfectly suits the South Africans. As a result, India were bundled out for only 188 from 45.5 overs.

India lost the game by a record 10-wicket margin in front of a near 80000 crowd that was backing the Saffers and not the hosts. During the first innings, skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rahul-dravid-calls-team-india-favourites-going-into-the-world-cup-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rahul Dravid</a> walked out to bat in front of a crowd that was booing him. It was the same crowd that cheered him during his twin Test tons against Pakistan earlier that year and his contribution during the 2001 famous Australia Test. Post the game, Dravid jokingly said that he was lucky not to be fielding at the boundary lines where the Indian players received curse words as well.

2. Sunil Gavaskar at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata:

Following the incidents in 2005, Rahul Dravid jokingly remarked of joining a rare list of players who were booed at home that includes Sunil Gavaskar. Back in 1984, India took the field in a Test match at the Eden Gardens against England under the captaincy of Gavaskar. The management and selectors took a decision of dropping <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-kapil-dev-amazed-with-the-indian-pacers-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kapil Dev</a> who played a rash shot in the previous Test in Delhi. The shot played by Kapil turned the tables upside down resulting in an Indian defeat.

Adding to dropping of Kapil, the captain Gavaskar did delay the declaration as Debutant Mohammad Azharuddin and Ravi Shastri added 214 for the 5th wicket at less than 2 runs per over. The section of fans near the Indian dressing room shouted “Gavaskar down, Gavaskar out” whenever the opening batsman came outside. He was hit by fruits when he eventually declared the innings and took the field for England’s innings.

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-284299" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-284299" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Yuvraj Singh will possibly walk at the Wankhede Stadium in this IPL season as a player of Mumbai Indians. Yuvraj has been on the receiving end while playing in Mumbai over the last two decades while playing Domestic Cricket of in the IPL. Their history began way back in 2001 when he struck a brilliant 135 during the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ranji-trophy-2018-19-final-vidarbha-vs-saurashtra-statistical-highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ranji Trophy</a> Quarter-Final to guide Punjab to a victory against the hosts.

Things got ugly in 2005 when Yuvraj reacted to the personal abuses directed at home by one of the fans. Yuvraj had a verbal altercation with a fan on his way back to the pavilion after registering a low score. In his first IPL game at this venue in 2008, Yuvraj led the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-kings-xi-punjab-predicted-xi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kings XI Punjab</a> to a 1-run win over the Mumbai Indians led by Sachin Tendulkar.

The all-rounder celebrated the win aggressively after the home crowd booed him and the Indian players in the KXIP. The crowd went as far as calling Deepika Padukone as his sister, who was Yuvraj’s girlfriend back then. &#8220;The crowds should remember there are players from Punjab who play for India,&#8221; Yuvraj reminded the crowd after the victory. Even the Brabourne Stadium crowd during the 2010 IPL teased the left-hander.

Back in 1984, India took the field in a Test match at the Eden Gardens against England under the captaincy of Gavaskar. The management and selectors took a decision of dropping <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/australia-vs-india-kapil-dev-amazed-with-the-indian-pacers-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kapil Dev</a> who played a rash shot in the previous Test in Delhi. The shot played by Kapil turned the tables upside down resulting in an Indian defeat.
Adding to dropping of Kapil, the captain Gavaskar did delay the declaration as Debutant Mohammad Azharuddin and Ravi Shastri added 214 for the 5th wicket at less than 2 runs per over. The section of fans near the Indian dressing room shouted “Gavaskar down, Gavaskar out” whenever the opening batsman came outside. He was hit by fruits when he eventually declared the innings and took the field for England’s innings.

Yuvraj Singh will possibly walk at the Wankhede Stadium in this IPL season as a player of Mumbai Indians. Yuvraj has been on the receiving end while playing in Mumbai over the last two decades while playing Domestic Cricket of in the IPL. Their history began way back in 2001 when he struck a brilliant 135 during the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ranji-trophy-2018-19-final-vidarbha-vs-saurashtra-statistical-highlights/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ranji Trophy</a> Quarter-Final to guide Punjab to a victory against the hosts.
Things got ugly in 2005 when Yuvraj reacted to the personal abuses directed at home by one of the fans. Yuvraj had a verbal altercation with a fan on his way back to the pavilion after registering a low score. In his first IPL game at this venue in 2008, Yuvraj led the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-kings-xi-punjab-predicted-xi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kings XI Punjab</a> to a 1-run win over the Mumbai Indians led by Sachin Tendulkar.
The all-rounder celebrated the win aggressively after the home crowd booed him and the Indian players in the KXIP. The crowd went as far as calling Deepika Padukone as his sister, who was Yuvraj’s girlfriend back then. &#8220;The crowds should remember there are players from Punjab who play for India,&#8221; Yuvraj reminded the crowd after the victory. Even the Brabourne Stadium crowd during the 2010 IPL teased the left-hander.
