Abhishek Bachchan reacts as former Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar mistakes him to be cricketer Abhishek Sharma: "Sir, with all due respect…"

Abhishek Bachchan has been a part of the Hindi film industry for more than 25 years. By now, he has made a name for himself and carved a niche. However, former Pakistani bowler Shoaib Akhtar recently made a blunder that has gone viral when he called Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma as Abhishek Bachchan.

The cricketer recently said, “If Pakistan get Abhishek Bachchan out early on in a hypothetical situation, then what is going to happen with the middle-order? Their middle-order hasn’t performed well.” This was in context to the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan.
