Big B mocks ICC's boundary rule; Anurag Kashyap, Rohit Sharma cite 'serious problem'
On Sunday, the 50-over match ended in a tie at Lord's, resulting in a Super Over.
Bachchan mocked the criteria by saying, "You have Rs 2,000, I have Rs 2,000. You have one note of 2,000; I have four notes of 500. Who is richer? ICC: The one who has four notes of 500 is richer."

All 22 of those boys gave their everything and no one was lesser. Then why do only 11 get to feel like they were the best,” he wrote.
The 'Manmarziyaan' director mentioned that there is a 'serious' problem with ICC rules and said that a second Super Over should have been conducted.
If in a super over a country can win by the virtue of more boundaries then why can a country not win by the virtue… https://t.co/mH28n8GNpd

Some rules in cricket definitely needs a serious look in.

Wednesday ended on a sad note for the Indian Cricket team and all its fans. The Kohli-led squad, which clashed with New Zealand in the semi-final of 2019 World Cup, lost to the Kiwis by 18 runs. After enjoying a winning streak in the ongoing World Cup, the Men in Blue succumbed to the attack from Black Caps and lost their chance to bring the trophy home.
Dejected by the defeat, some fans seemed to shed tears for their beloved team. However, it wasn't just the fans that sobbed at the loss, the Men in Blue also lived those moments of disappointment. Former captain Dhoni seemed teary-eyed as he exit the field on being run out. Kohli, too, was captured while offering consolation to his teammates.
Here's a round-up of all such moments from the Old Trafford stadium.
