Amitabh Bachchan reacted to India’s win against Australia and wrote on his blog that he tried several superstitions to make sure Team India won. He wrote, “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 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.”
He further wrote, “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.”
