Abhishek Bachchan
Former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar accidentally blundered cricketer Abhishek Sharma's name, mentioning Abhishek Bachchan instead in a post on X, while discussing match strategies ahead of the India-Pakistan Asia Cup final. Following the veteran's goof-up, the Guru star delivered a hilarious response, stating that even though he doesn't play cricket well, the Pakistan bowlers would not be able to get him out.
