Big B Amitabh Bachchan who watched the match became superstitious. He shared his feelings, , "Should I see the game .. at times when the game is seen we lose .. but defied that today .. so .. where to sit, how to sit .. one leg upon the other .. which leg which upon .. bending or stretched straight .. shoes on or off .. change the leg curl or not .. oh dear a wicket just fell .. no no no .. get back to the first leg over leg position .."
He added "The victory was made in great style .. restrained, controlled, no fear, no anxiety .. just the confidence of the team to WIN .. to hold on till the last few balls, and have the will and skill that the ball shall fly over the barrier and announce the WIN .. In the finals now .. (sic),"
