Former English Cricketer Andrew Flintoff troll Amitabh Bachchan over his nearly five-year-old tweet
New Delhi: Former England Cricketer Andrew Flintoff on Saturday trolled Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan over his nearly five-year-old tweet wherein the all-rounder had compared Virat Kohli to England’s Joe Root.
In the first tweet on March 27, 2016, Flintoff had said Indian Skipper Virat Kohli will one day be as good as English Skipper Joe Root. Replying to his tweet on the same day Amitabh had asked who Joe Root was adding that Indians will ‘Uproot Joe Root’.
Amitabh had written "@flintoff11 @imVkohli @root66 @englandcricket Root who ? जड़ से उखाड़ देंगे Root ko ..!!!"
On Saturday when Joe Root who is leading the English team that is touring India for four test match series scored a double century in the first inning of the first test match in Chennai, Flintoff went back to recall his tweet and wrote: “With the greatest respect , this aged well”. (SIC)
At this rate @imVkohli will be as good as @root66 one day ! Not sure who @englandcricket will meet in the final now !

BJP turning EC into tool for vote chori: Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the BJP is turning the Election Commission into a "tool" for "vote chori".
Sharing a clip of his speech during a discussion on election reforms in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday, Gandhi said on X, "India's public is asking these 3 very important and direct questions: 1. Why was the CJI removed from the EC selection panel? 2. Why was almost complete legal immunity given to the EC before the 2024 elections? 3. Why the hurry to destroy CCTV footage within 45 days?"
"The answer is one - BJP is turning the Election Commission into a tool for vote theft," the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said.
In a no-holds-barred attack, Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that the BJP and the Election Commission were "colluding to destroy" India's democracy and "rob people of their voice".
Participating in the discussion on election reforms, Gandhi claimed the BJP is "directing and using" the Election Commission to damage India's democracy.
Making suggestions, Gandhi called for providing machine readable voter list to all parties one month before elections, taking back the law that allows destruction of CCTV footage after 45 days, giving access to EVMs, and changing the law that allows election commissioners "to get away with whatever they want to do".
