Amitabh Bachchan Mocks Ben Stokes After India Declines Draw In Manchester Test: ‘Gore Ko Tika Diya'
Amitabh Bachchan reacts to Ben Stokes' draw offer in Manchester Test. 'Gore ko tika diya' comment goes viral as India bats on for a heroic draw. Cricket met cinema in classic style when legendary Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan chimed in on the now-viral moment from the Manchester Test, where England captain Ben Stokes offered a draw to India—only to be cheekily rejected by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. With just 15 overs left on the final day, India was well on its way to salvaging a draw and keeping the series alive. That's when Stokes extended an unexpected handshake—an offer to end the game early. But the Indian duo on the crease had other plans. They politely declined and continued batting. The moment triggered massive chatter online. On Monday, July 28, a social media post summarizing the incident—'Ben Stokes 🏴 offers a draw 🤝🏻 – India 🇮🇳 denies and continues to bat 🧐 – What's your take on this?"—caught the eye of Big B himself. And in true Amitabh Bachchan fashion, his response stole the show. 'Take !?? अरे गोरे को टिका (tika – sorry tayka) दिया रे." A blend of satire, wordplay, and swagger, his post instantly went viral. Fans flooded the comments, hailing Bachchan's sharp wit and national pride. Take !?? अरे गोरे को टिका (tika – sorry tayka diya ) दिया रे !!🤣 — Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) July 27, 2025 Drama On and Off the Field The Test match itself had its fair share of drama. After declining Stokes' offer, Jadeja stood tall with a gritty 107 not out, while Sundar remained unbeaten at 101, showcasing resilience and composure. The English camp, reportedly miffed by India's refusal to call it early, began delivering theatrical long hops—derisively known as 'donkey drops"—in what many perceived as passive-aggressive protest. Eventually, after both Indian batters reached their centuries, the teams shook hands, drawing the match in what had transformed from a sleepy finish to a surprisingly tense finale. What's Next for Big B? While Big B's commentary on cricket continues to entertain fans, the megastar remains just as busy on the silver screen. He will next be seen in Ribhu Dasgupta's legal thriller Section 84, co-starring Nimrat Kaur, Diana Penty, and Abhishek Banerjee. He also returns to two major franchises—Brahmāstra Part Two: Dev and the much-anticipated Kalki 2898 AD, continuing his streak of blockbuster roles across genres. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 17:31 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
