After India clinched victory in the Asia Cup final over arch-rivals Pakistan, Indian fans and celebrities celebrated the win and expressed their happiness. The match, held on Sunday in Dubai, was won by the prolific partnership of Tilak Verma and Shivan Dube. As soon as the victory was sealed, celebrities including Mammootty, Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and several others congratulated Team India.
Amitabh Bachchan takes a dig
In a humorous moment ahead of the Asia Cup final, Shoaib Akhtar mistakenly referred to Abhishek Bachchan instead of cricketer Abhishek Sharma. After the victory, Amitabh Bachchan lauded country’s victor by taking a jab at him.. He wrote, “We won! Well played `Abhishek Bachchan.` Their tongue slipped and without batting, bowling, or fielding, you defeated the enemy. Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai Maa Durga! (sic).”
T 5516(i) – जीत गये !! 🇮🇳🇮🇳 .. well played `Abhishek Bachchan` .. उधर ज़बान लड़खड़ाई, और इधर, बिना batting bowling fielding किए, लड़खड़ा दिया दुश्मन को !!
बोलती बंद !!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
