The ‘jinx’ is broken! Did Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘sacrifice’ just win India the T20 World Cup?

Forget the 255-run mountain or Jasprit Bumrah’s lethal yorkers, according to Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, the real reason India lifted the trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium on March 8 was much more... supernatural.

As the "Men in Blue" dismantled New Zealand by a massive 96 runs to become three-time champions, Big B took to X to reveal his secret tactical contribution: He didn’t watch a single ball.

Sharing a photo of the trophy presentation taken directly from his TV screen, the veteran actor hilariously claimed responsibility for the victory.

For years, the Shahenshah of Bollywood has famously battled the "Jinx" theory, often posting about how India tends to lose whenever he tunes in live. This time, he wasn't taking any chances. By staying away from the screen, he pulled off what fans are calling the "Greatest Sacrifice in Cricket History."

The internet, never one to miss a beat, flooded his comments with hilarious gratitude. While some hailed him as the "MVP" (Most Valuable Predictor), others begged him to keep his TV off for the 2027 ODI World Cup too.

“he still thinks he is jinxed for cricket,” joked another user.

“Me too didn’t watch rather i broke my TV for it so i don’t watch even if i have to.”

Shah Rukh Khan hailed the "comprehensive victory," telling the team to "take a bow."

Ajay Devgn admitted to losing his voice from screaming at the TV.

Akshay Kumar shared a chaotic GIF from his upcoming film Bhoot Bangla, perfectly capturing the "Har ghar ka mahol" (the vibe in every house) across India.

India is officially the first team to win back-to-back T20 World Titles and the first to win it on home soil.
