Amitabh Bachchan Celebrates India's Win, Considers More Commentary

Amitabh Bachchan greets his Sunday well-wishers at his Mumbai residence.

New Delhi:

Social media's hung verdict aside, Amitabh Bachchan and his Sunday well-wishers are quite pleased with his cricket commentary at yesterday's monster India vs Pakistan match.

Mr Bachchan, 72, celebrated India's win with the Jalsa regulars who show up weekly at his Mumbai home. He also said that perhaps he ought to consider more commentary. (Also Read: At India vs Pakistan, Amitabh Bachchan's Voice. Twitter Pronounces a Verdict)
 





Not everyone on Twitter was as thrilled to hear Bollywood's best-known voice booming out updates and analysis with - by turns - Kapil Dev, Arun Lal, Rahul Dravid, Shoaib Akhtar and Ashish Chopra.

'Worse than Doordarshan,' said at least one person on Twitter. Mr Bachchan's filmy colleagues, however, were all praises.
 





India demolished Pakistan. As this person remarked, Amitabh Bachchan has been a lucky charm of sorts cricket-wise.
 



Then again, this was India's sixth straight win against their most bitter pitch foe so Mr Bachchan's services as a talisman were likely not required. He predicted they'd win anyway.
 

 



Yesterday was also a special day for Mr Bachchan for a whole other reason.
 



Amitabh Bachchan was in the commentary box as part of the publicity for his new film Shamitabh which opened on February 6.
