A couple of days ago, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, were blessed with a baby girl. And after the happy news, ‘Shahenshah’ Amitabh Bachchan has come to a very crucial conclusion i.e., ‘Future ki women’s cricket team ban rahi hai’.
Sharing why he thinks so, Big B tweeted a screengrab, that looks like a WhatsApp forward, listing all the Indian cricket team players who have been blessed with a baby girl, right from Suresh Raina, Gautam Gambhir to Harbhajan Singh, Umesh Yadav among others.
In his tweet, he also highlighted that even our ‘helicopter shot’ specialist M.S. Dhoni has a baby girl adding that she might be the captain.

Well, as soon as the ‘Mahanayak’ shared his observation, people couldn’t resist but comment on his tweet. While some slammed him for suggesting that there’s nepotism in cricket, others wondered how Hardik Pandya’s son would be feeling now. Some even suggested he stops forwarding WhatsApp forwards.
Take a look:
You think like Bollywood now cricket will also be ruled by nepotism let the talent come in do whatever you are doing in Bollywood because cricket needs dedication

You want have nepotism even in cricket? This sports where only talents speaks unlike bully wood (bollywood)

With due respect, it’s a National cricket team. The players, whether men or women, are selected based on their talent. Selection is not done based on who is their father or mother. Kindly, don’t confuse it with Bollywood entertainers and Nepotism🙏🏻

Clearly, Big B’s humour didn’t go well with a lot of people online. What are your opinions on this?
