His criticism of the commentators was shared by others who took to  Twitter to air their views and discuss with Bachchan Sir. During this conversation, Big B had replied to many people who are reacting to his tweet.

He concurred with Former Indian Express journalist Harneet Singh.

Interestingly, MS Dhoni himself joined the conversation with a simple post saying, “Nothing to add”. One could even spot MS’ irritation during the press conference as he hit out a journalist.

BCCI treasurer Anirudh Choudhary also added in his two cents on the discussion in praise of Virender Sehwag.

During this conversation, a question arises ‘who Bachchan Sir was targeting in his comment.’ There were guesses of Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar.

Commentator Harsha Bhogle and part of the broadcast team took to Facebook to clear the air on the issue. He clarified that the English feed is broadcast across the globe not just to the Indian audience hence the need for staying objective and focusing on both teams not just India.
