Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan’s latest post on India entering the ICC World Cup Final beating New Zealand on Wednesday has stirred a frenzy on social media with many even warning him.
After Amitabh Bachchan revealed that the Indian cricket team always wins whenever he does not ‘watch the match’ many users on social media platforms asked him to refrain from watching the World Cup Final, scheduled on Sunday, November 19.
“When i don't watch we WIN!” he tweeted on Wednesday and this has sparked a flurry of quirky posts on X, with even many warning him not to watch the final match.

A user replied to the post saying, "Don't watch the final match please sir." Another cricket fan shared an image of a blindfolded person and requested, "Amitabh Bachchan sir, please be like this on Sunday."
A fan wanted him to act blind just like Dhritarashtra was and wrote, "Sir..that day you play the role of Drithrashtra and let AB junior sir play the role of Vidur narrating/commentating the final for you :) Lots of love...Shehensha,Don, Coolie."
"Go under isolation Sir...act like you have Covid." Another fan added, "Ya we know. Please don't watch on Sunday also," suggested another comment.
India entered the finals after beating New Zealand by 70 runs in the first semi-final match of the World Cup on Wednesday, November 15. India scored 397 for 4 in the first innings while the Black Caps lost all wickets in 48.5 overs while scoring only 327 runs.
India will now play the final against the winner of the second semi-final match, between Australia and South Africa, scheduled on Thursday, November 16, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Just before the final match, the curious twist of Amitabh Bachchan watching the game till the end creates more interest, making fans and social media users wonder if the team’s performance will be affected by the superstar.
The ICC World Cup Final is slated for Sunday, November 19 and cricket fans are ecstatic about India reclaiming the title after the 2011 victory.
