Even as the nation is hurting from India's inglorious exit from the 2010 ICC World Twenty20, Bollywood actor, Amitabh Bachchan, batted for the Indian captain.

Of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Amitabh wrote, "I am appalled at the way MS Dhoni has been targeted. A week ago he was the apple of your eye and within seconds, in a show smacking of frivolity, you have through deliberate and unjustifiable cut, paste technology, made him into the creator of all that ails Indian cricket."
He also felt all the negative criticism could get to the players, "We are all very disappointed with the outcome of the T20 championships, but don't destroy the spirit of these magnificent athletes. From the early hours of the morning, the electronic (media) has only crucified the team and done nothing else. Don't kill their morale for god's sake."
He even had a mantra for the various television networks as well as for the team, "If I was heading a channel, I would repeatedly keep showing in my broadcast, the glorious victory of the year when we won the World Championships, rather than dwell on our players in their weaker moments. I have faith in Dhoni the wonderful band of brothers in the team. Regroup, regain and win."
