Abhishek Bachchan is always known for his wit and sense of humour off-screen apart from his on-screen portrayals which get a lot of love from fans. As India is playing the Asia Cup, Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar was discussing the chances of Pakistan entering the finals. During this conversation, he accidentally used Abhishek Bachchan instead of Abhishek Sharma. Akhtar said, “If Pakistan get Abhishek Bachchan out early on in a hypothetical situation, then what is going to happen with the middle-order? Their middle-order hasn’t performed well.”As he said this, the others on the panel quickly corrected him and said, ‘Abhishek Sharma’ and not Abhishek Bachchan. As this clip went viral on the internet, Abhishek also shared this. The actor took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket.”
Abhishek’s hilarious response as he took a dig at the Pakistani cricket team, won the internet. Infact, it’s the best thing on the internet today. Here’s how netizens reacted. A user said, “They’ve been Ghoomerized.” Another one said, “no cricket skills needed when your wit’s already hitting sixes AB.” Another user said, “@juniorbachchan just clean bowled Shoaib Akhtar without even stepping on the pitch. He doesn’t need to play cricket… his tweets are enough to hit sixes.”Another user said, “Abhishek cooking Pakistan is the new normal these days! 😂” Abhishek is a huge sports enthusiast apart from being an actor. While he owns a Kabaddi team and a Football team, the actor is an avid Football lover and a part of the Chelsea fan club. Not to mention, Abhishek is always seen cheering for team India every time there’s a cricket match. Moreover, this witty response from him won the internet.
