Internet Desk: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan brought back the memories of Sourav Ganguly. Big B and former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff were involved in twitter banter over India’s star batsman Virat Kohli after his epic knock against Australia in Mohali on Sunday.
Flintoff took to twitter in taking a dig at Kohli. The former England all rounder trolled Virat Kohli on Twitter. But megastar Amitabh Bachchan was quick enough to tweet back to Flintoff in a hard-hitting reply.
Sourav, who was the captain of the Indian team, delivered the mother of all tit-for-tats just like the Bollywood actor. Sourav took off his shirt immediately after winning the Natwest Trophy beating England at Lords in 2002. It was the England all rounder who’d charged topless around the Wankhede Stadium a few months earlier after a series win against India.
Virat Kohli, played a blinder yesterday in Mohali on his way to scoring a match winning knock of 82 runs off 51 balls to guide India to the semi finals of ICC World T20. While everyone was praising the Indian batsman Flintoff posted a sarcastic tweet and compared Kohli with England batsman Joe Root.
“At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now!” tweeted Andrew Flintoff.
The tweet made Amitabh Bachchan angry and prompted him to give an apt reply to the England cricketer. “Root who? Jad se ukhar denge Root ko,” responded senior Bachchan. (Root who? we will uproot Root!)
Flintoff was shaken by the tweet from Big B as he was not expecting such a strong reply .
