Cricketers bring their 100% to the ground no matter if they play for their nation or their franchise. They always aim to perform their best and try to make their teams wins. Most of the fans understand the same and back their favorite players.
However, at times, the fans cross the line and troll their favorite players or even opposition players after their failures or just for the enjoyment of trolling. Not all cricketers took the trolling lightly. Here’s a list of four instances when the players lost their cool.
1. One of the current Indian cricketers – Virat Kohli
Back in his young days, Kohli would often lose his cool. During a match involving Royal Challengers Bangalore, Kohli hit back at a fan who abused him and even shouted ‘CSK Rocks’ as he walked up to the dressing room. Kohli even came back and fought with the fan in a viral video. You can watch the video here.
2. One of the current Pakistan cricketers – Babar Azam

A video of Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam hitting back at a fan who chanted ‘Zimbabar’ has gone viral on social media now. It happened during a Pakistan Super League match when Azam was sitting near the stands.
3. Mohammed Shami loses his cool over a Pakistani fan’s chant
Six years ago, Mohammed Shami hit back at a Pakistani fan after he chanted ‘Baap Kon Hai’ (Who is the father) when Pakistan beat India in the Champions Trophy 2017 Final. The other Indian players ignored that fan, but Shami did not like it and lost his cool. You can watch the video here.
4. Virat Kohli shows the finger to crowd in Sydney
Virat Kohli features on this list once again. Back in 2011/12, when a young Kohli toured Australia with the Indian squad, he flipped the finger to the crowd in Sydney after some disrespectful chants from the fans at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The star Indian cricketer had to pay a fine for his actions as well.
