The Bollywood legend was in exquisite form, as he joined Star Sports experts Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid, Shoaib Akhtar and Akash Chopra during the start of the game on on Star Sports 3 and Star Sports HD 3. The host broadcast of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, earlier launched Star Sports HD 3, a channel dedicated for Hindi feed for World Cup coverage. <\/p>\n
Amitabh Bachchan took to the microphone with Akash Chopra and Shoaib Akhtar after India won the toss and decided to bat. Like the openers of Team India – Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, who entered the field for the first time in this World Cup with hopes and expectations of entire nation upon them, the veteran-actor also felt butterflies in his stomach on the commentary debut.<\/p>\n
True to his refined humour, he said, “Rohit Sharma looks nervous at the start of the innings, a feeling I can very much relate to, at this moment.”<\/p>\n
It was only fitting that the first runs for India came on the words of the superstar.<\/p>\n
Aside from being graciously humorous as always, Amitabh Bachchan surprised everyone with his thorough cricket analysis and knowledge. His apt examination of Shikhar Dhawan’s short-comings was case in point – “Shikhar Dhawan is great batsmen but his foot movement is susceptible sometimes.”<\/p>\n
On his predictions for the match, Mr. Bachchan did not disappoint, “This is a difficult question as I have loving fans on both sides of the border. In fact, my mother was born before the partition in Pakistan, now known as Islamabad. However, I’m very much an Indian and hope India will emerge victorious from this game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
