5 Reasons why Indian fans dislike Virat Kohli

5. Fans consider Virat Kohli arrogant

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 Australia‘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’s his ‘X-factor’. 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’s his resilience, with Dhoni, it is his World Cup-winning six but with Virat, it’s his ability to get better off the opponent by hook or by crook. However, it doesn’t matter how we portray it, he is considered arrogant and Indian fans do not like it.
