'Where To Sit, How To Sit': Amitabh Bachchan gets superstitious while watching Ind vs Aus match
Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan is also fond of watching cricket just like us, and he proved it by writing a blog regarding the India vs Australia Champions Trophy semi-final match.
In the blog, he wrote how the match made him reconsider all his decisions, from if he should watch the match to how he should sit during it.
The actor said, "The Match... cricket... to decide the FINALS... and all kinds of permutations and connotations begin to invade the mind and body. Should I see the game? At times, when the game is seen, we lose, but we defied that today... so... where to sit, how to sit... one leg upon the other... which leg which upon .. bending or stretched straight .. shoes on or off .. change the leg curl or not .. oh dear a wicket just fell .. no no no .. get back to the first leg over leg position.. HOLD."
Amitabh praises India's win
He added that India's win over Australia "was made in great style". The actor continued, "Get up to go .. walk a bit when the ads., begin or stay put .. the variations keep tempting the mind and system, until the final victory .. and the victory was made in great style .. restrained controlled, no fear, no anxiety .. just the confidence of the team to WIN .. to hold on till the last few balls, and have the will and skill that the ball shall fly over the barrier and announce the WIN."
Amitabh talks about cricket, the human mind
Amitabh shared how the brain and mind function when the matter is about cricket. “In the finals now... It’s past midnight, so it shall happen TODAY, and the routine shall begin again of where to sit, et al .. Even the greatest thinkers and philosophers profess ignorance on the mind matters for results but never have been too strict on the final outcome.”
"HomoSapiens we are... and we are different... we have the largest brains and have the ability to absorb in intelligence all around us and about... particularly when we play cricket," concluded his note.
