Former England cricketer Andrew Flintoff may just have stuck his hand into a hornet’s nest when he claimed, albeit in jest, on Twitter that he did not recognise Bollywood mega-star Amitabh Bachchan.
The series of tweets started when Bachchan, ecstatic after Virat Kohli's unbeaten 82 runs which helped India bag the semi-final berth in the ICC World T20, took to Twitter to praise the Indian batsman.
"T 2188 - VIIIIRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AATTTTT !! You are simply genius!!," tweeted Amitabh Bachchan, and in another tweet he added, "T 2188 - @imVkohli you were brilliance times infinity !! Pure genius. Thank you for tonight! And may many more such nights come our way!!"
Back in 2014, outraged reactions of Indian fans flooded Twitter and Facebook after a website, reported that Sharapova had no idea about who cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar was.
In November last year, it was British Airways’ turn to face the ire of millions of Sachin fans when it responded to an irate Tendulkar by asking him his full name.
One twitter user summarised what came the airlines' way that day in his tweet, saying, "One minute silence for the bloke Managing @British_Airways Twitter Account today. Even God can't give him strength as God only draining it."
