Amitabh Bachchan, Andrew Flintoff indulge in 'war of words' after Virat Kohli's heroics

Big B, known for his razor-sharp wit, was swift in responding to Flintoff's tweet.

New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff on Sunday indulged in some banter after India's six-wicket win over Australia.

It all started when Freddy decided to have a bit of fun on social micro-blogging site Twitter.

At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day ! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now ! — andrew flintoff (@flintoff11) March 27, 2016

Big B, known for his razor-sharp wit, was swift in delivering a fitting reply.

@flintoff11 @imVkohli @root66 @englandcricket Root who ? जड़ से उखाड़ देंगे Root ko ..!!! — Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) March 27, 2016

While it was nothing more than light-hearted banter, the followers of the actor went after Flintoff.

Not one to back off, the 38-year-old infuriated them further by asking who Bachchan was.
