The European T20 Premier League may have been about cricket, but actor Abhishek Bachchan made sure the presentation had its own red-carpet moment. At the ETPL event, the actor and league co-founder stepped out in a sharply tailored navy suit, pairing classic formalwear with dark sunglasses and a slick, groomed look that quickly caught attention. While Abhishek looked dapper, the internet couldn’t stop gushing over his new look.
Navy suit, pink tie and old-school charm of Abhishek Bachchan
Abhishek Bachchan wore a sophisticated double-breasted navy suit, styled with a crisp white shirt and a soft blush-pink tie. The brown formal shoes completed his look, while his neatly styled hair, trimmed beard, and signature sunglasses gave the otherwise traditional outfit a contemporary edge. The result? A polished outfit without looking overly elaborate. Whether posing with the ETPL trophy or standing alongside cricket personalities, Abhishek carried the look with the relaxed confidence of someone equally comfortable at a film premiere and a sporting final.

Fans notice Abhishek Bachchan’s style as much as the cricket
Social-media reactions to Abhishek Bachchan’s ETPL appearance repeatedly focused on his new style. The latest images have gained attention for Bachchan’s sharp appearance. An Instagram user commented, “Dress like true boss man (sic).” Another penned, “Once a gentleman; always a gentleman Jr. AB (sic).” The third wrote, “A whole new personality, a whole new successful career, a whole new identity, that’s for all those who still keep comparing him to some superstar (sic).” One user said, “his best look ever.”
More than a fashion moment for Abhishek Bachchan
There was plenty happening behind the pictures. For the unversed, Abhishek Bachchan is a co-founder and co-owner of the ETPL, which launched its inaugural six-team season in 2026 with franchises representing Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Rotterdam and Amsterdam. The actor has described the project as an attempt to create a major platform for cricket in Europe. Speaking to India Today, he said, “We’re nothing without the fans. No sport is anything without the fans.” That makes the event particularly significant for Bachchan: he was not simply attending as a celebrity guest, but appearing as one of the people behind the league.
