Amitabh Bachchan Mocks Ben Stokes as India Skips Draw in Manchester Test, Internet Reacts with Love

Amitabh Bachchan says 'Aree gore ko tayka' after India shocks England in Manchester Test

It was sudden yet fun after a shockingly bold win for India in the Manchester Test: Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan went in for a playful jab at England captain Ben Stokes. As the fans rejoiced over the breathtaking finish, Big B's tweet caught the attention of many. He funned away at England's expectations of a draw in Hindi. Netizens loved the moment and flooded social media with applause and laughter.

India Denies Draw; Travel for the Glory

Many fans and pundits predicted a draw for the final day during the Manchester Test. There were necessary weather interruptions, and the run rate was slow for a long time in the first innings, so the match appeared to be heading towards a resultless conclusion. But India surprised everyone. The team looked intent and played attacking cricket on the fifth day.

With Rohit Sharma's aggressive declaration and Jasprit Bumrah's violent spell, England's show pleasurably collapsed under pressure. India won a memorable match, leaving the hosts completely stunned.

Amitabh’s Tweet Steals the Show

Shortly after the match ended, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted a cheeky comment. He wrote, 'Aree gore ko tayka,' roughly saying, 'We taught the white men a lesson.' The comment was aimed at Ben Stokes and the English team’s assumption that India would settle for a draw.

Fans quickly shared the post across platforms. It was the kind of phrase that is ageing with pride and a bit of sarcasm. People treated it as a classic Big B moment- loud, fun, and patriotically charged.

Internet Reactions

Social media erupted in admiration. In the wake of Bachchan's tweet, many users called it ‘legendary’ and ‘iconic.’ Some users even went so far as to name Bachchan's tweet the 'sledge of the year.' Twitter and Instagram were flooded with memes and funny edits.

One user wrote, 'Big B did what Kohli used to do on the field.' Another posted, 'Amitabh Bachchan is more aggressive than the English bowling attack.'

While most celebrated the moment, a few users advised caution over the language. They reminded others that sportsmanship matters. But even those voices agreed the tweet was meant in good fun.

Ben Stokes’ Silence Speaks

Interestingly, Ben Stokes has not responded to the tweet. The England skipper appeared calm during the post-match interview. He praised India’s efforts and accepted defeat with grace.

His silence, too, added fire to the situation. Some of his fans were joking. 'Stokes seems to be still searching for the meaning of 'tayka.'

Final Thoughts

This edition of the India-England Test was marked by moments of drama, passion, and a sprinkling of humor. While the match will live on in everybody's memory for India's aggressive finish, Amitabh Bachchan's one-liner will forever be etched in this cricket rivalry from a cultural perspective.

At 81, the superstar remains connected with both cricket fans and movie lovers. Whether on screen or online, Big B knows how to steal the spotlight.

As one fan put it, 'When India wins, Amitabh tweets. That’s the new tradition now.'
