He wrote back to the user with a long message, labelling his troller as ‘cockroach’. The reply read, “Shut up you cockroach. I have great respect for Rohit Sharma and all the great Indian cricketers of Test History. What kind of a neech And pathatic lair you are that you are claiming that I have ever said a word against dignity of a great player like Rohit. Kabhi socho tum itnay ghatia aur ganday aadmi kyon ho”.

Prior to this, Javed Akhtar congratulated India for its win over Pakistan in the previous match. While he posted positive remarks of Kohli, others asked him to write/chant “Jai Shree Ram”, mocking at his Islamic religion. Even then he made sure to not make no delays and immediately gave it back to the trollers saying their mentality will continue to stoop lower than ever before.
