Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan trolled Pakistan's cricket team after they lost Asia Cup 2025 against Team India. He also took a dig at former Pakistani cricketer Shoiab Akhtar, who mistakenly took actor Abhishek Bachchan's name instead of cricketer Abhishek Sharma's.
Taking to his official X account on Monday, soon after India won the match, Big B wrote, "जीत गये !! 🇮🇳🇮🇳 .. well played 'Abhishek Bachchan' .. उधर ज़बान लड़खड़ाई, और इधर, बिना batting bowling fielding किए, लड़खड़ा दिया दुश्मन को !!बोलती बंद !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 जय हिन्द ! जय भारत ! जय माँ दुर्गा ."
For those unversed, during a cricket talk show, Game On Hai, Shoaib was speaking about Pakistan’s chances in the upcoming Asia Cup final against India. A few days back, he said, "If Pakistan gets Abhishek Bachchan out early on in a hypothetical situation, then what is going to happen with the middle-order? Their middle-order hasn’t performed well.”
This went viral and made it to the headlines. His goof-up also caught Abhishek Bachchan's attention.
Replying to a news portal's tweet, Junior Bachchan, known for his sense of humour, wrote, "Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket."
