Bachchan, who has always been vocal about his love for cricket, wrote: “The IPL final is over and KKR have won a most convincing victory… SRH were simply outplayed… disappointing in many ways because SRH is a good team, and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches.”
He added: “But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady… the owner of SRH, in the stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion. I felt bad for her!! Never mind… tomorrow is another day… my dear!!”
