New Delhi: Cricketer-turned-commentator Aakash Chopra brutally shut down a troll on twitter for calling him "Mr chamcha of Virat Kohli" on the social media platform. The former opener on Sunday had tweeted in praise of captain Virat Kohli for completing a brilliant catch that led to in-from Marnus Labuschagne's dismissal in the series decider. The troll had called out Chopra for 'not praising Manish Pandey', who had taken a one-handed stunner in the previous ODI (2nd ODI) at Rajkot. In his reply, Aakash Chopra asked the troll to "get a life" and further added by saying: "I don't tweet while commentating".

Sorry. I pledge to tweet on every great catch taken in 2020. 😐 Get a life, dude. I was on commentary when Pandey ji took that catch and called it. And Praised it. I don’t tweet while commentating. https://t.co/xVNikaQX4u

The strong 127-run partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith in the 3rd ODI was finally broken after skipper Virat Kohli took a fantastic catch. Labuschagne fell after a well-made 54. After a humiliating 10-wickets defeat in the first ODI, team India came back strongly in the final ODI, courtesy fluent batting performances from Rohit Sharma, Kohli and remarkable bowling from Shami, that powered India to a seven wicket win at Bengaluru. India attained another successful chase, leading to a 2-1 series win over Australia.
