Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has unwittingly become the center of a whimsical saga as cricket fans inundate social media with amusing warnings, imploring him to steer clear of watching the ICC World Cup Final 2023. Bachchan, known for his iconic roles on-screen, sparked this comical plea after attributing India’s success in the semi-final against New Zealand to his absence from the viewing experience.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the megastar playfully declared, “When I don’t watch, we WIN (sic)!” Little did he anticipate the tidal wave of responses from fans urging him to extend his cricket-watching hiatus for the final clash on November 19.
The banter reached new heights as fans, embracing the superstitions deeply embedded in cricket culture, creatively implored Bachchan to “stay indoors” and resist the temptation of watching the crucial match. The internet erupted with witty remarks, turning the actor’s superstitious revelation into a light-hearted spectacle. Meanwhile, India’s semi-final victory against New Zealand etched a historic moment into cricket history, courtesy of Virat Kohli’s 50th century, surpassing the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record. As the cricketing world awaits the final showdown, the good-natured trolling of Amitabh Bachchan adds a touch of humor to the intense anticipation surrounding the World Cup climax.
