Picture this: Ravi Shastri, the former England‑anointed captain, is perched on a plush set, eyebrows raised, as Kapil Sharma nudges him to share a story that feels like a backstage pass to a cricket‑era romance. The clip starts with a dramatic reenactment—Shastri mimics Kohli’s celebratory kiss of the bat, eyes glittering, and gestures toward a still‑smiling Anushka Sharma, who, according to him, was the lucky girlfriend who watched him hit a 160 on the 26th of that season.
The episode, slated for Netflix on October 10 at 8 pm, also roasts a host of familiar faces. Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary left‑hander, joins the panel, chuckling about how he once faced fast bowlers without a helmet because, “there was nothing inside.” Sunil Grover, Kiku Sharda, and Krushna Abhishek round out the lineup, promising a mix of banter, nostalgia, and a touch of absurdity that only this show can deliver.
Shastri’s core message? Players need support, so partners should be allowed in. He’s got the humor dial set to eleven, but the underlying sentiment is genuine—an ode to the unspoken backbone that helps cricketers thrive. The anecdote is more than a laugh; it’s a nod to the emotional side of the sport that fans rarely see.
Beyond the playful theatrics, the episode offers a slice of real life: Anushka and Virat, now married since 2017, are parents to daughter Vamika and son Akaay. The show’s casual vibe lets viewers glimpse the human side of two of India’s biggest sports icons, wrapped in a comedy format that feels as comfortable as a tea break in a pavilion.
If you’re a cricket fan who loves a dash of celebrity gossip, this episode is a must. It’s a nostalgic, cricket‑filled comedy that reminds us all that behind the runs and wickets, there’s a life off the field—full of love, support, and a few cheeky kisses of the bat.
