Most hated XI in international cricket

3. Ricky Ponting

It should come in as no surprise to see a bunch of Australian cricketers in this list. Their attitude of “Winning at any cost” many times crossed the ethical borders and no one understands it better than the legendary Ricky Ponting. It’s almost sad to see one of the game’s all-time greats in this list, but during his playing career, Ponting was definitely not the nicest of gentlemen on the field.

Getting involved in heated discussions with players and umpires, the infamous Sydney Test in 2008 being a classic example. Some fans also hate him for battering their favourite teams single-handedly on the field, which is a little obnoxious but also highlights what a dominant cricketer he was. He lost all his control and furnace towards the end of his career and eventually, he called time on his playing days in 2012.
