Actor Amitabh Bachchan was one of the many celebrities who cheered for the Indian cricket team after they defeated Pakistan at the Asia Cup final. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Amitabh shared a tweet with a jibe at former Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar's earlier comment, where he mixed up names. Speaking on the cricket talk show Game On Hai Shoaib had taken Abhishek Bachchan's name instead of Abhishek Sharma's while talking about the game.
Teasing Shoaib, Amitabh praised 'Abhishek Bachchan' for
playing well. He also tweeted about how Team India defeated the "dushman (enemy)." Amitabh wrote, "T 5516(i) -Jeet gaye !! Well played, 'Abhishek Bachchan'."
He added, "Udhar jabaan ladkhadai, aur udhar, bina batting bowling fielding kiye, ladkhada diya dushman ko!! Bolti bandh (We Won! Well played 'Abhishek Bachchan. Their tongue slipped, and without batting, bowling, and fielding, you defeated the enemy. They are speechless now)!! (Laughing face emojis). Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Maa Durga!!!!"
