Actor Amitabh Bachchan's latest blog entry illustrates that he shares the same fervor as many fans when it comes to cricket matches featuring India. In a post published early Wednesday morning, Amitabh candidly expressed his anxieties during the semi-final match of the Champions Trophy between India and Australia.

Amitabh's Superstitions While Watching Cricket  

In his writing, Amitabh reflected on how the match prompted him to reevaluate his choices, from whether to watch the game to the manner in which he should position himself. He noted, "The Match... cricket... to determine the FINALS... and a myriad of thoughts and feelings begin to invade my mind and body. Should I watch the game? Historically, when I do, we tend to lose... but I decided to defy that today... so, where should I sit, how should I sit... one leg crossed over the other... which leg should be on top... bent or straight... shoes on or off... should I change the leg position or not... oh dear, a wicket just fell... no, no, no... return to the original leg-over-leg position... HOLD."

Amitabh Celebrates India's Victory  

He praised India's triumph over Australia, describing it as "achieved in great style." The actor elaborated, "Should I get up and walk a bit during the advertisements, or remain seated... the variations continually tempt my mind and body until the final victory is secured... and the win was accomplished with great style... composed and controlled, devoid of fear or anxiety... just the team's unwavering confidence to WIN... to persevere until the last few balls, demonstrating the will and skill necessary for the ball to soar over the boundary and declare the WIN."

Amitabh talks about cricket, human mind

Amitabh elaborated on the functioning of the brain and mind in relation to cricket. "As we approach the finals, now past midnight, the event will take place TODAY, and the familiar routine of selecting our seating arrangements will commence once more. Even the most esteemed thinkers and philosophers acknowledge their limitations in understanding the intricacies of the mind concerning outcomes, yet they have never been overly rigid regarding the final results."

"We are Homo sapiens, distinct in our nature, possessing the largest brains that enable us to assimilate intelligence from our surroundings, especially when engaging in the game of cricket," he concluded.

Ajay Devgn commented, “INTO THE FINALS and in style. The redemption we sought from the 2023 World Cup is fulfilled, and what a remarkable way to conclude. We are one step closer to becoming the Champions!!!”
