Cricket fans, including megastar Amitabh Bachchan, gave up hopes on Mumbai Indians winning the IPL Season 10 Trophy on Sunday night.

Sharing a picture of the players on his Twitter account, the 'PINK' star wrote, "Had given up on the final of IPL ..switched off at interval .. then Abhishek called and said we won .. UNBELIEVABLE !! YEEAAAAAAAH"
