Amitabh Bachchan Indirectly Criticises Harsha Bhogle, Twitterati Slams Him For It

Earlier, there was no way to judge the power of an actor except through the Box Office. But now, we have many ways to rate the power of an actor. One method that is prominent is the count of social media. Nowadays, several brands go behind a star’s social media hype before giving him/her endorsements.

One of the great superstars of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan is known for his excellent screen presence and his voice. And he is one person who doesn’t need an introduction. He is one of the most followed celebrities on social media, especially on Twitter. From his pictures of meeting fans on Sundays to remembering his old films, Big B often shares his opinions and comments.

Recently, he posted something about Team India’s win in the 1st T20I against South Africa only to get trolled.

After clinching the 6-match ODI series 5-1, team India continued its winning streak in the 1st T20I at the Wanderers Stadium on Sunday. No doubt, the visitors outplayed the home team in all the three departments and reigned supreme much like they did throughout the ODI series.

Soon after India won the match, Amitabh Bachchan was delighted and took to Twitter to wish them. In the same tweet, Big B also took an indirect dig on Harsha Bhogle and his commentary. He wrote, “T 2619 – INDIA wins first T20 against SoAf .. brilliant play .. loved the aggression .. and loved the bias commentating .. keep doing that please ..coz’ every time you do that we WIN handsomely!”

However, Twitterati wasn’t pleased with his tweet and came out in support of the famous cricket analyst who is often called as ‘Voice of Cricket’.

Twitter Reactions:

This is not the first time Amitabh Bachchan has criticized the commentator. Earlier, during the World T20 in 201 held in India, he had tweeted about an ‘Indian commentator’ being biased during the game between the hosts and Bangladesh.

Soon after the event, Harsha Bhogle was ousted from the commentary panel of BCCI as even some of the Indian players also voiced the same concern. However, Harsha cleared later that he never wanted to hurt anyone’s sentiments and was just doing his duty.

Thus, the fans of Harsha Bhogle were aware of the events happened in the aftermath of his tweet in 2016 and quickly came out in his support. While some of them suggested the legendary actor to work on his knowledge about the game, few lashed out at him.
