Shoaib Akhtar’s Abhishek Bachchan slip

In his tweet, Big B took a dig at Pakistan’s former speedster Shoaib Akhtar, who, during a sports show ahead of the final, accidentally referred to the cricketer Abhishek Sharma as Big B’s son and actor Abhishek Bachchan. He had said, “If Pakistan manage to get Abhishek Bachchan out in a hypothetical situation, what happens to India’s middle order?”

Abhishek Bachchan responds

Shoaib’s slip was caught by fans, and his video went viral. Abhishek Bachchan also took the chance to tease the former cricketer and wrote, “Sir, with all due respect… don’t think they’ll even manage that! And I’m not even good at playing cricket.”

While Big B celebrated India’s victory in his own unique style, other Bollywood celebrities also took to social media to celebrate the win. Siddharth Malhotra wrote,, “What a match tonight! India showed grit, fire & heart. Unbeaten champions! You make us all proud 🇮🇳 #indvspak2025 #AsiaCupFinal.”
