Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has found himself at the centre of a lighthearted social media frenzy after he revealed that the Indian team seems to have a better chance of winning when he doesn't watch matches. The social media platforms are flooded with humorous warnings and pleas from fans urging him to skip watching the upcoming ICC World Cup final. For the unversed, India registered a thumping victory against the Kiwis
by 70 runs in the World Cup 2023 semi-finals, held in Wankhede, Mumbai.
Bachchan's post, following India's semi-final victory over New Zealand, read: "When I don't watch we WIN!" This quirky remark quickly triggered a wave of reactions, with fans taking it upon themselves to ensure that Bachchan stayed far away from the television screen on the day of the final.
