One of the most enigmatic personalities in the world of cricket right now, Virat Kohli set unattainable standards for his current generation cricketers across all formats. With the bat in hand, this 29-year-old genius fights like a soldier at the border, putting his life on the line to not let his countrymen down.

But the other side of Kohli has always garnered mixed reactions. The Indian skipper across all formats is quite an expressive individual, completely opposite to his predecessor <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ms-dhoni-trains-nca-far-throng/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MS Dhoni</a>. He never shies away from having a word or two with the opponents and often gets involved in heated altercations.

There was a time when his aggression was completely off charts, but with time, he has become a much calm and sensible person. Having said that, no opponents can have a go at him and expect to get away empty handed. He always tends to give it back and sometimes, he got penalized for his actions as well.

#5 &#8211; Spreading awareness or publicity stunt?

Well, the latest inductee into this hall of infamous tales has been trending on social media in the last few days. Anushka Sharma, who was traveling alongside Kohli in their car had spotted a person throwing garbage on the road and vehemently pounced on that individual.

Amidst this chaos, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/arhhan-singhs-mother-lashes-virat-kohli-anushka-sharma-publicity-stunt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli had recorded the incident and uploaded it on Instagram</a>. We previously saw Sachin do something similar, but Kohli and Anushka didn&#8217;t receive a warm reception. A few people questioned Anushka as to how can she speak so rudely to that individual, who later confessed that he accidentally threw the garbage outside his car.

Netizens have been very harsh on Kohli and Anushka, calling the entire incident a publicity stunt. The recently married couple have been on the spotlight ever since they got together, but this is the first time they hogged headlines for the wrong reasons.

This is a two-way situation which will have varied opinions. Whilst many believe Anushka did the right thing, there&#8217;s another section who reckon her reaction was a bit too unethical and ill-mannered.

#4 &#8211; Abusing a journalist and apologizing later on

Back in 2015 during the ICC World Cup, Virat Kohli was back in the news during a press conference in Perth. There was a lot being written about Kohli and Anushka by the journalists as the brouhaha surrounding the couple was way too humongous.

Kohli was unhappy with one of the Hindustan Times&#8217; articles written on Anushka and Kohli being Kohli didn&#8217;t stop himself from reacting vociferously. He apparently yelled at the journalist and used some expletives as well, which sparked a huge row. But there was no official confirmation from any sources that he used cuss words.

This incident ended up embarrassing Kohli as he later learned that he yelled at the wrong journalist. His misconstrued judgment made him a victim of various trolls, but he later came out and apologized as well.

(Photo by Mark Kolbe/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Now, this should ring a lot of bells. This was the first instance when Kohli hogged the biggest column in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/eng-vs-aus-sourav-gangulys-experience-of-watching-book-cricket-live-in-nottingham/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a>n newspapers (Few newspapers even put it on the front page). Unfortunately for the youngster, it wasn&#8217;t for a good reason.

After some repeated personal assaults on Kohli, the Delhi boy got infuriated and flicked his finger at the crowd. The repercussions of the incident were severe as the Australian media and crowd made his life miserable by following him every place he went.

He was later penalized with a fine by the match referee, but the scar of that wound never really vanished. Every time Kohli goes to Australia, there&#8217;s some section in the fans who still will go hard on him and make his job all the more challenging.

#2 &#8211; Nasty verbal exchange with Gautam Gambhir

(Photo by Ishara S.KODIKARA/AFP/GettyImages)</figcaption>

One of the most unforgettable spats in the history of IPL took place in 2013 when Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli, who hail from the same city, got into a very intense altercation. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/category/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/rcb-royal-challengers-bangalore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Challengers Bangalore</a> were taking on the Delhi Daredevils in a critical group stage encounter.

Kohli spanked Pradeep Sangwan for a few boundaries before he got dismissed to the same bowler in the 10th over. The Delhi players celebrated vehemently and Kohli walked angrily towards Gambhir and muttered something. Gambhir too was fumed and if it had not been for Rajat Bhatia&#8217;s interference, both players would&#8217;ve gone physical.

However, both players didn&#8217;t take this incident off the field. Gambhir said that it was an incident which took place in the heat of the moment and there was nothing personal. Kohli too had said the same and that shrugged off further intricacies in this case.

#1 &#8211; Unhealthy relationship with Anil Kumble

<img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-110355" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Virat-Kohli-and-Anil-Kumble.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble News" width="640" height="427" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-110355" class="wp-caption-text">Virat Kohli and Anil Kumble. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Easily one of the biggest and worst points occurred in Kohli&#8217;s career when former Indian coach Anil Kumble stated in his resignation letter that the Indian captain was unhappy with his work mechanism. That sent shock waves across the fraternity and Kohli was at the receiving end of some brutal criticism.

Anil Kumble is a disciplinarian par excellence and apparently, his head-masterly attitude didn&#8217;t go down well with Kohli. After India got humiliated in the hands of Pakistan in the <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/jasprit-bumrah-never-bowled-no-ball-champions-trophy-final/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2017 Champions Trophy final</a>, Kumble stepped down and once again, Ravi Shastri came into power.

BCCI had reported the legendary leggie that Kohli had his reservations with Kumble&#8217;s style and his continuation. Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, alongside many others, battered the decision taken by <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bcci-planning-add-one-clause-yo-yo-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BCCI</a> and these were difficult months for Kohli to cope with.

“So you want softies. You want somebody to just tell you, ‘ok boys, don’t practice today because you guys are not feeling well, ok take a holiday, go shopping’. If somebody is a hard taskmaster and he has got you results like Anil Kumble has got over the last one year and any of the players are complaining, I feel those players are the ones who should be left out of the team,” Gavaskar famously said in an interview with NDTV.

Five infamous controversies Virat Kohli got into
