Naseeruddin Shah joined in the criticism of Virat Kohli's behaviour during the on-going cricket match against Australia. Actually, not everyone is critical. Times Now News noted that Dav Whatmore, a former Australian cricketer, feels that the behaviour of Kohli's being blown out of proportion. Mainly, this comes from the Australian media. The match in Perth and the coverage of Kholi having a "banter" with the Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine, was perfectly fine and did not go over the limit, according to him. But now, some Indian cricket fans are angry that Naseeruddin Shah, a film person, and not an international athlete, joined in to put him down him. Over on Twitter, there was some harsh criticism as fans slammed him back. One commenter even said they think he's just trying to use Virat's "name and fame" to get media attention. Here are five of the reactions to him on Twitter.
Guys ! What this man is telling about virat. Have you any reply to stop his illiterate word . #viratkohli #Viratian . I think this person became mad. Nothing going right now for him. @imVkohli pic.twitter.com/xNe2Y8gaJa

Naseeruddin Shah measured the 'world's worst?'
This tweet said that Shah must have something to measure his comments by. In fact, how does he know Kohli's the worst in the world?
What scale did Mr @NaseeruddinShah used to measure the WORLD worst behaved factor. I mean, what was the sample size and how much statistical significance he got at certain probability level.😁

Priti Gandhi's tweet gave it back
Priti Gandhi's not impressed with Naseeruddin. In fact, she had her own story to tell of alleged bad behaviour!
I have personally been witness to a watchman getting publicly thrashed by #NaseeruddinShah outside a famous theatre because the watchman did not allow his car inside the premises as per their rules. Absolute ruffian, now playing victim & trying to create a narrative!! @imVkohli https://t.co/vOjfcion5M

The tweet about intellectuals and Virat Kohli
These days, across the world, more and more intellectuals or show-biz people are taking a platform. According to this tweet, they seem to think they know everything and they deserve the importance of having a say on everything.
I think we should stop giving importance to so called intellectuals

They think since they are working in art and theatre whatever they say is right
This tweeter suggests Shah gets on the cricket field
Taking a hit at Shah, this tweeter suggested maybe he should experience the pressure of international cricket before condemning Virat Kohli.
What I suggest is #naseeruddinshah must get into the field and try playing the game with all the pressures and then behave properly he will understand as a Indian how ever a player behaves it’s fine as long as he is performing and doing his job

Stick to acting tweet
This Twitter user responded to the Times of India report about Shah's statement. They told him he knows nothing about Australians and should stick to acting.
kindly stick to acting, you are not a cricketer and for sure not aware of Aussie behaviour btw they got Virat Kohli out by cheating!
