The behind-the-scenes clips of The Great Indian Kapil Show are as fun and hilarious as the show itself. Recently, cricketers Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Abhishek Sharma, along with their coach and former cricketer Gautam Gambhir, appeared on the show. The latest behind-the-scenes clip, which Kapil shared on his YouTube channel, showed the cricketers discussing whose anger is more dangerous — Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma. Chahal named Rohit Sharma's anger as the more dangerous of the two.
During the same segment, Chahal was asked what's more difficult to predict — the ball thrown by a bowler or a girlfriend's mood. The cricketer answered that it is more difficult to predict a ball thrown by a bowler.
When Kapil showed surprise at Chahal's answer, Chahal politely asked him to move on to the next question. Immediately, Navjot Singh Sidhu said, 'This means he is an expert in other things more than cricket.' Rishabh, however, countered that the expert in this case is Kapil Sharma and not Chahal. Kapil, however, dismissed the claim with a joke.
For the unversed, Yuzvendra Chahal was married to actor and social media influencer Dhanashree Verma. They parted ways this year after five years of marriage. The two had tied the knot in 2020. Chahal is currently rumoured to be dating RJ Mahvash and has been spotted with her on many occasions.
During the segment, Sidhu also recalled the incident when Sunil Gavaskar had called Rishabh Pant 'stupid, stupid, stupid' for getting out at a crucial point in a match. However, Pant turned that moment into an opportunity and was later seen saying Gavaskar's lines — 'stupid, stupid, stupid' — in an advertisement which he shot with Gavaskar himself. Talking about the same, Rishabh said, 'We were just sharing love.'
Taking advantage of the situation, Sidhu took a jibe at Gautam Gambhir jokingly and said, 'Gautam also doesn't get involved in small fights, he take on big fights.' However, when Kapil asked him to elaborate, Sidhu refused to talk further. In the past, Gautam Gambhir has had various confrontations with cricketers, including Shahid Afridi and Kamran Akmal. His most recent spat was with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.
Meanwhile, Gambhir too took his chance to get back at Sidhu. When Kapil asked him what he likes more about Sidhu – his cricket commentary or his shayaris? The cricketer without hesitation said, 'his shayaris.'
