commentate in India-Pakistan World Cup match
Ardent cricket fan and veteran Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan
will be commentating during the much talked about India- Pakistan match in
World Cup 2015 on Feb 15, a report published on Cricket Country said.
Cricket fans who anxiously
await the most happening cricket event of the year, and who happen to be
equally devoted Bollywood fans can now expect a true gala on match day of
neighbouring cricket rivals as Bachchan’s voice will now boom in the cricket
stadium in Adelaide, Australia.
Bachchan, who is to commentate
for Star Sports, as reported by Times of India, is expected to share the mic
with the likes of Shoaib Akhtar, Kapil Dev and Harsha Bhogle.
His new movie Shamitabh is
scheduled to release on Feb 6.
Bachchan expressed excitement
about this new venture as: “This country’s emotions are ruled by two things —
cricket and cinema. For me, it’s an exciting time on both fronts. My movie is
releasing on February 6 and then, I have the privilege of making my commentary
debut.”
Bachchan who is known to be a
devout cricket fan has appeared alongside top Indian cricketers in past
commercials.
His passion for cricket is
evident in his tweets when his home team plays. He also came out on the streets
to celebrate India’s victory in World Cup 2011.
