Veteran Bollywood actor Naseeruddin Shah on Monday blasted Indian captain Virat Kohli for his on-field behaviour in the ongoing second Test in Perth.

While praising the India captain 'world's best batsman', Shah also labelled Kohli as 'world's worst-behaved player' in a Facebook post.

"Virat K is not only the world's best batsman but also the world's worst-behaved player. His cricketing brilliance pales beside his arrogance and bad manners," Shah wrote.

“And I have no intention of leaving the country by the way,” he added, referring to the controversial comment made by Virat, telling a fan to leave India if he didn’t like its players.
