<p><strong>10 Cricketers with most haters:</strong> Well, with the game of cricket, there is attached significant quantities of emotions. And with that evolve the two faces of the same coin, denoted by following, support, love and hatred. Throughout the years, we have seen a bunch of players, who no matter how cruelly they would demolish their opposition, were loved by cricket fans around the&nbsp;world. In the same manner, there are players who, somehow due to some reasons, have a bunch of haters all around a globe.</p>
<h2>Here is the list of the<strong> 10 cricketers with the most haters:</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>1. Gautam Gambhir (India)</strong></h3>
<figure id="attachment_25380" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-25380" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/07/Gautam-Gambhir-Test.jpg"><amp-img class="wp-image-25380" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Gautam-Gambhir-Test.jpg" alt="Cricketers with most haters" width="594" height="411" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img></a>

</figure>
<p>This might not be a surprise name for many. The KKR skipper has involved himself in a lot of banters in the past couple of years. Gambhir was also once involved in a heated argument with the coolest contender of the game, Rahul Dravid. No wonder, after that particular incident he has made a lot of haters in his own country. Having an attitude for winning is always good, but at the same time, one has got to respect the spirit of the game, for the sake of it.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Michael Clarke (Australia)</strong></h3>

<figcaption id="caption-attachment-26719" class="wp-caption-text">Michael Clarke. (© Getty Images)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The former Australian skipper was an excellent player but did not have a good reputation on the field and was known for abusing and sledging the opponents to keep them under pressure. As a matter of fact, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/michael-clarke" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Clarke</a> even sledged Tendulkar back in 2003. Not only that, Clarke was also known for his crooked skills on the field and would reach to any extent to bag a win for his team. Such incidents often led to a scarcity of sportsmanship and thus has a number of haters.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>3. Russel Arnold&nbsp;(Sri Lanka)</strong><strong></strong></h3>
<figure id="attachment_38269" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-38269" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/10/Russel-Arnold-Sri-Lanka.jpg"><amp-img class="wp-image-38269" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Russel-Arnold-Sri-Lanka.jpg" alt="Russel Arnold" width="594" height="474" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img></a>
<figcaption id="caption-attachment-38269" class="wp-caption-text">Russel Arnold. (© Getty Images)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The former Sri Lankan left-handed batsman was not that sober when it came to attitude and decency. He indulged in a number of arguments with many players. Once during the ICC Champions Trophy of 2002, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/russel-arnold" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russel Arnold</a> was deliberately walking down the pitch. Sourav Ganguly, the then Indian captain, warned his for his crooked activities and asked him to step aside. There were quite a few incidents when he was observed behaving in an unexpected manner.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>4. Ricky Ponting (Australia)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1705546189580_Ricky-Ponting.jpeg" alt="Ricky Ponting" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Ricky Ponting. (Photo Source: X(Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>One of the most successful cricket captains did, at times, adopted the twisted measures to cease victory in favour of the Aussies. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ricky-ponting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ricky Ponting</a> would do all that was needed to get his team a victory. The opposition batsmen had to face a string of pleasantries from the Kangaroos and also, at times, he would switch to some unfair means, viz., fake appeals to put the opposition into some unnecessary trouble. This has made him have a number of haters.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>5. Ollie Robinson (England)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1705735291536_Virat-Kohli-and-Ollie-Robinson.jpeg" alt="Virat Kohli and Ollie Robinson" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Virat Kohli and Ollie Robinson. (Photo Source: X(Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"><span>Speaking of some controversial moments and players in the current wave, The Ashes rivalry cannot simply be missed. As a result, the England pacer, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/ollie-robinson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ollie Robinson</a> comes as the new addition to the unique list. During the first <strong>Ashes 2023</strong> Test series at Edgbaston, after dismissing Usman Khawaja, the pacer did not hesitate in sledging the batter as a part of his annoying send-off. This ended up with him having drawn a lot of flak from fans and cricket experts from the world over.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle"><span>However, this did not go down well with several cricket experts and fans alike. In fact, the former Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, got dragged into the matter by Robinson. This irked Ponting who did not mince his words when he called Robinson not as very skillful. To justify his words he called the England pacer frustrated and a toiled hard bowler who watched the game throughout the day like some spectator after Usman Khawaja calmly kept playing his deliveries without taking any unwanted risks whatsoever.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>6. Misbah-ul-Haq (Pakistan)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1706691625051_Mishabh-Ul-Haq.jpeg" alt="Mishabh Ul Haq" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Mishabh Ul Haq. (Photo Source: X(Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The Pakistani captain has earned the respect for being a great batsman and a skipper but has a huge number of haters in his own country. Pakistani fans often criticize him for being way too much defensive in ODI cricket and often held him responsible for the defeats. Misbah-ul-Haq also became a hated guy when he played that shot in the final over of the match which not only costed his wicket but also handed over the ICC World T20 2007 trophy to India.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>7. Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1696076598237_Herschelle-Gibbs-dropping-Steve-Waugh-during-Super-Six-stage-of-1999-WC.jpeg" alt="Herschelle Gibbs dropping Steve Waugh during Super Six stage of 1999 WC" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Herschelle Gibbs (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>This name might well surprise a few, but <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/herschelle-gibbs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Herschelle Gibbs</a> was not a widely loved cricketer either. He was involved in match-fixing scandals which made South Africa lose significant amount of respect in the international cricketing sphere. Also, he was a terror to the opposition during his batting, which gave enough reasons for the opposition fans to hate him. Gibbs was also involved in a number of sledging incidents which has earned him a position in this particular list.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>8. Salman Butt (Pakistan)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1687415055490_Salman-Butt.jpeg" alt="Salman Butt" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Salman Butt. (Photo Source: Philip Brown/Popperfoto/Popperfoto via Getty Images)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The Pakistani opening batsman did the worst by getting involved in match-fixing scandals actively and keeping national interest aside. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/salman-butt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Salman Butt</a> not only disrespected the game of cricket but also de-meaned the stature of his nation in the cricketing universe. These incidents have earned him a lot of haters throughout the globe and no wonder, he will be in the black book of the fans for a long long time.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>9. Lou Vincent (New Zealand)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1702045116365_Lou-Vincent.jpeg" alt="Lou Vincent." width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">Lou Vincent. (Photo Source: Teaukura Moetaua/Getty Images)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>The former Kiwi batsman did get involved in some match fixing scandals and thus shamed New Zealand cricket on the whole. Not just that <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/lou-vincent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lou Vincent</a> was also involved in match fixing scandals a couple of years ago in the Bangladesh Premier League. Thus, these series of incidents have earned him haters from around the world.</p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>10. MS Dhoni (India)</strong></h3>
<figure class="image" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"><amp-img src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/1695464058063_MS-Dhoni.jpeg" alt="MS Dhoni" width="640" height="400" layout="responsive" style="max-width: 100%; margin: 0;"></amp-img>
<figcaption data-gramm="false">MS Dhoni. (Photo Source: DIBYANGSHU SARKAR/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>
</figure>
<p>This is sad but true. MS Dhoni stands to be the most successful Indian captain but has got a considerable number of haters in his own country. Some believe that Dhoni is the cause why seniors in the likes of Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman had to retire and Sehwag, Gambhir, Yuvraj and Harbhajan were kept out of the team. While some criticize Dhoni’s failure as a captain in overseas Tests and his failure is the reason they hate him. Despite being respected worldwide, the World Cup winning captain has got a huge number of haters in his own country and with unexplainable reasons.</p>
