After the victory, Big B took to his X account, as usual, to share his thoughts on India’s stunning win. He wrote, “Hum toh soche khel haar jayenge New Zealand wala, Tv band kar diya. Par jeet gaye hum, Kya baat hai INDIA!!! Badhaee.”

His post quickly drew a flood of hilarious reactions from fans in the comment section.

India faced New Zealand in their final Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium and secured a 44-run victory. With this win, the Men in Blue finished as Group A toppers and are now set to take on Australia in the first semi-final in Dubai on Tuesday, March 4.

In other news, Big B, known for his heartfelt letters, penned one to Ranbir Kapoor after receiving a pair of sneakers from his newly launched lifestyle brand, ARKS. Ranbir had announced the launch of his brand on his birthday in 2024.

The 82-year-old Bollywood icon penned a thank-you note, applauding Ranbir and extending his best wishes for the future. On March 2, ARKS' official Instagram account shared a glimpse of the heartfelt message in its story. The note read, “Dearest Ranbir, My gratitude for your gift of the ARKS sneakers. Love tried them on and wore them to work. They are rather nice and comfortable! All good wishes to you and your endeavour. Lots of love.”

On the work front, the 82-year-old veteran appeared in two films in 2024—Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, where he played Ashwatthama, and Vettaiyan alongside Rajinikanth. Up next, he will be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s mythological epic Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi.
