New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan and former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff on Sunday indulged in some banter after India's six-wicket win over Australia.
It all started when Freddy decided to have a bit of fun on social micro-blogging site Twitter.

Big B, known for his razor-sharp wit, was swift in delivering a fitting reply.

While it was nothing more than light-hearted banter, the followers of the actor went after Flintoff.
Not one to back off, the 38-year-old infuriated them further by asking who Bachchan was.

Finally, Flintoff informed those abusing him that there was no malice in his tweets.
