Social media is one of the most powerful tools in the world at the moment. People use the various social media platforms to express their views to the world. Celebrities use these platforms to interact with their fans.
Legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan is a frequent user of Twitter and expresses his joy and grief. Bachchan is also a very ardent follower of the game of cricket and feels great joy whenever the Indian team wins any international match.
Similarly, Bachchan took to Twitter to congratulate the Indian women’s team who defeated South Africa in the ODI as well T20I series which took place last month.
The Indian women’s team travelled to the rainbow nation a month ago and succeeded in both the ODI as well as T20I series.
However, this congratulatory message by ‘Big B’ brought a lot of criticism as the Bollywood actor mistakenly referred South Africa as Australia.
Bachchan wrote:
“T 2740 – YEEEAAHHH !! CONGRATULATIONS Indian Women’s Cricket Team Historic Series win against Australia in T20 and ODI games .. terrific character, batting and fielding .. that catch by Jemimah on the boundary, OUTSTANDING !! you make us PROUD Indians.”
