Amitabh Bachchan mocks Ben Stokes after India snubs draw in Manchester test, netizens shower love: ‘Aree Gore ko tayka’ |

Amitabh Bachchan isn’t just a legendary actor but the he’s also a huge sports fan. He enjoys watching sports and cheers for India and our sportsmen. That was true recently when India played the Manchester Test. During the gripping final day of the Manchester Test, England captain Ben Stokes extended a surprise draw offer with just 15 overs left on the clock. India, poised to secure a respectable stalemate, had Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar at the crease. But instead of shaking hands, the duo simply smiled and carried on batting — rejecting the offer in true desi spirit. As the internet erupted with takes, memes, and debates, a viral social media post summed up the moment. A user shared a tweet, “Ben Stokes 🏴 offers a draw 🤝🏻 – India 🇮🇳 denies and continues to bat 🧐 – What’s your take on this?”Amitabh Bachchan, who couldn’t resist dropping a line with his trademark flair. He took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Take !?? अरे गोरे को टिका (tika – sorry tayka) दिया रे.” With a cheeky twist of language and a nod to old-school swagger, Big B’s comment set social media ablaze. Fans lauded the line as pure vintage Bachchan — witty, proud, and perfectly timed. The comment section lit up with claps, fire emojis, and declarations that “no one does it like Big B.” On work front, Bachchan is back with the next season of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ like a boss. The actor was last seen in ‘Kalki 2898 AD’.
