simply because he became something everyone growing up wanted to be, indian captain, best in the world, respected around the globe, married a movie star. he is living the life of a king, in his own era, the average Indian just desperately wants there to be a chink in his armour https://twitter.com/ladywithflaws/status/1343184500885360642
donkey cricket public hate him because of this facade created by social media and nonsense pages about him being a shit captain, even after him having a better win % than dhoni in white ball cricket and building our best ever test team, there is this reputation that he carried
as soon as he gave australia the finger, the Indian media had their poster boys like sachin , vvs , dravid who kept quiet and just did the job,
kohli was a tsunami in a swimming pool for the normal ict fan, brash, tattooed, loud mouth, good for nothing silly boy causing trouble

around the colony, it was that for them, and obviously cricket is one of the most classist sports where behaviour like this was looked down upon, he became a target from day 1 just because
he wasn't one of the bottle,
he was a special one.
nothing deterred him from being him

this is when my love affair for him like many Indians began, he was one of us, it felt like a breath of fresh air, he batted like a dream, after sachin we were blessed with this guy, he performed when he needed to, he went ahead and shut people's mouths in perth when he
outscored gambhir, sachin, vvs, dhoni, dravid etc when his spot in the team was on the line, he later went on to score a century in his favourite ground the next test, and cemented his place, and from then on you either hated him or loved him
2012
The year of Kohli
ODI avg 73
Test avg 63
T20 avg 48
it was in this year that he became the Indian vice captain, it was getting clear he was the chosen one, the purple patch that people talked about turned into normality, he played knocks like 133 Hobart and 183 Mirpur

within a span of 3 weeks, it became clearer and clearer that he was going to be the next indian captain, and this for some inspite of his on field fireworks wasn't enough, they just didn't like the idea of this man being what they said he would never be he
he became the youngest cricketer to win the ODI player of the year, then 2014 rolled around, he failed in England miserably, everyone had what they were looking for, the chink in his armour was in front of everyone finally, test elitists started saying he can't bat in England
he just got his head down and marched on to his second home, Australia, on the back of an england tour like that. he went back to his den, Adelaide and this time as a captain and I don't even need to tell you what happened next
a shocking decision saw dhoni quit Indian test captaincy and our golden boy was ready to be the captain and begin his reign, and obviously everyone hated him, but he bred a team hungry for success in his very first match as captain
he gets a lot of hate as captain, when people don't even realise he has taken over from one of the greatest captains in history and managing expectations is tough, but you feel a lot of the hate is unwarranted, I could go into the details about anushka, ICC tournaments etc
but I think no one will make it and read this far, I did it just for me to get this out of my system, there has been sachin, there has been dhoni, but there will only be one test cap number 269 with number 18 on his back fighting for every ball like his life depends on it
and I will always love you for what you did for me personally big bro 
you are the king.
you are the king.
