India pulled off a thrilling one run win over Bangladesh in a World Twenty20 Group 2 game on Wednesday. The match was full of drama till the last ball, and India snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. But what trolled on Twitter after the thrilling clincher was no less dramatic. And here again as in the match, it was India’s captain M S Dhoni’s tweet which put to rest all the critics of Team India.
It was all started with Amitabh Bachchan’s who tweeted the following:
T 2184 – With all due respects, it would be really worthy of an Indian commentator to speak more about our players than others all the time.
— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) March 23, 2016
Definitely, this indictment was meant for Indian commentators who heaped bundles of praise on the Bangladesh batsmen while the thrilling chase was on- until things unraveled in the last three balls.
Responding on behalf of Indian commentators, Harsha Bhogle tweeted the following:
I said it on air and I’ll say it again. This is the best group of players I have seen from Bangladesh.

But, it was again MSD who MS Dhoni, who retweeted Bachchan with the following words:
Nothing to add https://t.co/8rBel3vw4o

However, most of the Indian commentators including Zaheer Khan, VVS Laxman, Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, Sanjay Manjrekar didn’t respond to Big B or MSD.
But, interestingly, Big B didn’t stop his support for Indian squad and kept tweeting and retweeting:
When a bowler takes 3 in 3 balls it’s called hat trick. When he takes 2 & 3rd gets run out ,its called Hardick 😛 https://t.co/woxs4Yk5Is
