The ongoing four-match Test series between India and Australia is arguably turning out to be one of the most exciting duels this year. From individual battles to controversial jibes, Australia's tour of India has witnessed it all.

Such has been the intensity that it, apart from cricketers, even got the cricket boards of the two countries at loggerheads, further enticing media scrutiny. And, it appears that the Australian media won't let Virat Kohli catch a break.

Continuing the series of scathing attacks on the Indian captain, the Daily Telegraph recently stooped to a new low after comparing the right-hander with US President Donald Trump. "Virat Kohli has become the Donald Trump of world sport. Just like President Trump, Kohli decided to blame the media as a means of trying to hide the egg smeared right across his face," the Daily Telegraph wrote on its website.

This criticism of Kohli didn't just drew a strong response from the Indian cricket fans, but it also instigated Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan to come out all guns blazing.

Reacting to the claims, the 74-year-old sarcastically thanked the Australian media for accepting the fact that Kohli is a winner and the President. His tweet spread like wildfire and has so far attracted over 1,700 retweets and over 7,700 likes on Twitter.

Despite his hectic schedule, the veteran actor follows cricket rather closely and is quite vocal about most of the issues surrounding the game.

During the 2016 World T20 tournament, Big B had also kicked up a storm after he tweeted about an Indian commentator's remarks for the Indian team.

T 2184 - With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time.

His tweet also found support from none other than MS Dhoni who was leading the Indian side during the tournament.

Following a raging war on Twitter, the Indian commentator in question was identified as Harsha Bhogle who took to Facebook to explain his situation.

Bachchan's tweet, Dhoni's endorsement of it and Bhogle's argument with an official of the Vidarbha Cricket Association, home of the BCCI president Shashank Manohar, are believed to have led to his ouster from the IPL commentary team.
