Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah recently took to his social media handle and slammed skipper Virat Kohli. The actor, known for his acting chops, shared a post on his Facebook account where he praised the player for his batsmanship but also blasted the Indian cricket captain for his behavior on-field in the India vs Austrailia series.

Naseeruddin also added that, “I have no intention of leaving the country by the way.”
This was a dig at Virat’s statement to a fan recently. The skipper, in a promotional video, for his brand was told by a fan that he prefers foreign batsmen to Indian batsmen. Kohli responded by saying that the person should go live in some other country.
It so happened that Virat Kohli and Australian Captain Tim Paine had a tiff with each other and on Day 3 of the match, the Indian skipper took a jibe at Paine on the field. Kohli was visibly frustrated with the fifth-wicket partnership between Paine and Usman Khawaja and was in Paine’s ears throughout the first two hours of play. At one point, when Paine took a single to come towards the non-striker’s end, Kohli came charging towards the Aussie skipper but stopped just in time.
On Day 4, the captains got into a heated argument and the umpire had to intervene to put a stop to it. Virat was soon slammed by many Australian fans for his behavior.
We are waiting for Virat Kohli’s response to the veteran actor.
