Adelaide, Feb 15 (IBNS): Making his debut as a commentator, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday said sharing the commentary room with cricketing legends like Kapil Dev, Rahul Dravid or Shoaib Akhtar was an honour to him.

India beat Pakistan by 76 runs in their first match of the World Cup here.

Bachchan tweeted: "Commentary for the India Pak match over, an honor to be in the room as legends - Kapil, Rahul, Shoaib .. predicted 300 .. got it !!"

He said Feb 15 is a special day in his life as he had signed his first film to join the industry in 1969.

"T 1770 - 15th Feb .. !! historic date for me .. on this date 46 years ago in 1969, I signed my 1st film to join the Film Industry," Bachchan said.

In his last tweet, he said: "T 1770 - Hahahahahahahah .. maybe I should do more commentary !!! hahahahaha .. !!"

The commentary was done as  an integration between broadcaster Star Sports and the makers of Bollywood film "Shamitabh".

The film had released on Feb 6.

Directed by R. Balki, 'Shamitabh' features Bachchan, southern superstar  Dhanush and Akshara Haasan.

Actor Kamal Haasan's daughter Akshara made her Bollywood debut with this film.
