The wait has finally ended now. India and Australia are locking horns in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup on Sunday (November 19) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Ahead of the all-important match, former India player Wasim Jaffer made a special request to Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan.

Jaffer asked the Bollywood star to stop his father Amitabh Bachchan from watching the final. This hilarious response from him came after the Bollywood legend took to X to say that whenever he doesn’t watch the match, India end up winning it.

Amitabh Bachchan’s poem for Team India doing rounds on social media

Last year, during an episode of the Kaun Banega Crorepati, Amitabh Bachchan recited a poem to wish the Men in Blue for the T20 World Cup. In his poem, ‘Neeli Jersey Waale’, he was asking the Men in Blue to lift the cup again. Though India failed to win the T20 World Cup, they have a chance to create history once again.

Ae neeli jersey waalo, ek so tees crore sapno ke rakhwalo, dikha ke jazba laharao Tiranga, ek baar phir se vishwa cup uthalo. Ae neeli jersey waalo. (O people of blue jersey, guardians of one hundred and thirty crore people's dreams, show your spirit, wave the tricolor, and lift the World Cup once again. O people of blue jersey).
Amitabh Bachchan said on Kaun Banega Crorepati.
