Gautam Gambhir on transformation in Indian cricket team as head coach after succeeding Dravid: 'Saare desh ne dekh liya'
Kapil Sharma warmly welcomes "Coach Sir" Gambhir and ensuring he's comfortable with the boys enjoying themselves. Gambhir, usually known for his serious demeanor, reveals a lighter, more playful side on the show.
Kapil asks, 'Aapne Indian cricket team mein kya badlav kiye hai (What changes have you made in the Indian cricket team).' 'Ye toh saare desh ne dekhliya hai badlav. Isse bade kya badlav karu (The whole country has seen this change. What bigger change could I possibly make),' Gambhir replied.
Navjot Singh Sidhu defended him, saying, 'World cup jita diya, Champion Trophy jita di. Pichli IPL mein Gautam Gambhir the toh KKR jiti thi aur Gautam Gambhir wah se khiske KKR rock-bottom toh aap ye samajh lo sangat mein bahut asar hota hai. (We won the World Cup, we won the Champions Trophy. In the last IPL, when Gautam Gambhir was with KKR, they won — and ever since he left, KKR hit rock bottom. So you can understand how much impact the right company can have).'
Netflix shared, 'Hassi hogi boundary-paar with these cricket superstars. Ab har Funnyvaar, badhega humara parivaar. Watch the new episode with cricketing legends Gautam Gambhir, Yuzi Chahal, Rishabh Pant, and Abhishek Sharma on The Great Indian Kapil Show, this Funnyvaar, at 8 pm, only on Netflix.'
Meanwhile, Indian seamer Akash Deep stated that Gambhir instilled confidence in him, which had a positive impact on his performance during the first innings of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Akash said, "He [Gautam Gambhir] was sharing his experience. As a coach, he has given me confidence since I joined here. That confidence is what was reflected in the match. When you know that your coach is backing you so much, you get the confidence that was reflected in the match."

Zohran Mamdani, the Indian-origin Democratic nominee running for mayor of NYC, has been hogging headlines for a while now. If elected, Mamdani will become the first Muslim and South Asian mayor of New York City. Embracing his roots, Mamdani has actively incorporated cultural elements into his campaign, using Urdu and Bengali in outreach efforts and even donning a traditional South Asian kurta during public appearances.

Park Bo Young wanted to run away on first day of Netflix's Our Unwritten Seoul: ‘I was scared viewers wouldn't see…'
Park Bo Young, in a recent interview with Dispatch Korea, opened up about the pressure she felt while signing on to Netflix's Our Unwritten Seoul. While the actor admitted that the script was too tempting to pass up and felt like the perfect opportunity to try something new in her career, she also confessed to feeling nervous and wanting to back out, worried that fans might not receive it well due to her heavy screen presence. Little did she know, the K-drama would end up dominating global OTT charts for weeks, with hitmakers like Squid Game, which recently dropped its third season. Also read: Our Unwritten Seoul first impression: Does Park Bo Young even need a male lead in her K-dramas anymore? Hailed for carrying the show on her shoulders with unmatched energy and talent, Park didn't just play twins, she portrayed four different versions of the same person. The actor managed to convey 'unknown' and 'future,' plus each pretending to be the other. Bo Young, who rose to fame with the rom-com Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, shared that despite spending so many years in the industry, it was not an easy task. Before filming even began, she admitted, 'I really wanted to run away.' But she couldn't resist the strong script and those comforting lines she believed viewers would connect with. She added, 'I was worried that viewers would think I was just appearing twice. I loved it when (the public) could distinguish between the future and the unknown.' In the K-drama, Bo Young plays Mirae, one of the twins, who is more responsible, hides her pain well, keeps her hair neat, and goes heavy on the eyeliner. Miji, on the other hand, is the exact opposite: loose strands, light liner, and not afraid to speak her mind or call out what's wrong. One works in a corporate firm in Seoul, the other lost her career as an athlete after an accident and has since been juggling multiple jobs to support her family. Their voices and body language are distinct as well. Mirae stays composed, while Miji moves more freely, more raw. Even when they switch places, Bo Young slips in small overlaps, never overplaying it. 'Ah! I really felt a lot of pressure. It was only after I agreed to do it that I thought, 'What have I done?' I wasn't sure I could pull it off. I struggled a lot on set and felt like a failure,' Bo Young recalled. 'It's been so long since my TV drama, but thankfully, there are so many good responses. I'm busy searching (for comments),' she added. Also read: Squid Game 3 ending: 7 burning questions answered in Netflix thriller finale; future possibilities explored Even on set, she revealed relying solely on her acting skills, given the technical hurdles. Twin scenes were shot with stunt doubles and later stitched together with CG, but sometimes she had to match eye levels alone and acted solo against nothing but imagination. She says, 'This was my first time doing something like this. It was really difficult, but I think I've grown a lot.' Bo Young's recent role comes after her praiseworthy performances in Concrete Utopia and Morning Comes to the Mental Ward, showing a change in her career trajectory from earlier rom-coms and softer roles. Meanwhile, she is also gearing up for her next series, Goldland, set to hit Disney+ screens. Park Bo Young has been acting since she was a teen, and it has already been 20 years for her in the industry, with shows like Healer, Daily Dose of Sunshine, Oh My Ghost, etc. She remembered the early days when directors scolded her so much she'd cry. 'I wondered if I was cut out for this,' she said. But thanks to those doubts, she kept going. Now, she sounds humble and grateful. 'Acting feels like it was my destiny,' she says. 'After twenty years, I feel like I've grown a little. I just want to keep conveying my heart when I read scripts.'

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: India need to play Kuldeep Yadav... they are missing variation: Kevin Pietersen
Kuldeep Yadav of India (Photo by) in London: There has been a lot of chatter around Kuldeep Yadav 's absence from India's Playing XI ever since the side landed in England but it seems to have died down a bit after the historic win at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground. The move of depth over a proper wicket-taking bowler worked for Shubman Gill & Co. as Washington Sundar scored valuable runs lower down the order and did what the management expected out of him. Two days before the Lord's Test, Kuldeep resumed his preparations with two rounds of gentle jogs and was back doing what he enjoys the most - give the ball a rip. On the bench for the first two games, there has been no drop in the intensity with which he prepared for a fixture and Tuesday was no different. The series is locked at 1-1 before the two sides go head-to-head at the Home of Cricket and former England cricketer and current Delhi Capitals mentor Kevin Pietersen feels India need to play the chinaman. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "They need to play him. India lost a Test match, won a Test match and I think they are missing some sort of variation. I think they are missing variation," Pietersen tells on the sidelines of "YOUWECAN CHARITY GALA" in London. Pietersen reveals he had a lot of discussions with the left-armer regarding bowling in England during his time with Delhi Capitals but didn't divulge details. How Jasprit Bumrah is preparing for Lord's Test - batting, bowling and lot of jokes! "I sat with him a couple of times when I was mentor with the Delhi Capitals, and I discussed bowling in England with him. I discussed tactics. I had a lot of chat on how to bowl and where to bowl. We spent a lot of time and it will just be nice to see him play. It would be lovely to see him play. He loves bowling, he loves taking wickets. And I want to see my buddy play. I don't like my buddies on the bench," adds Pietersen. Poll Should Kuldeep Yadav be included in India's Playing XI for the next Test? Yes, he adds valuable variation No, the current bowlers are sufficient The last few months have seen a lot of mutual respect and admiration from both Pietersen and KL Rahul , and it continued when the DC mentor was asked about the batter's recent form. Quiz: Who's that IPL player? "He is a star. He is an absolute star. I don't get the criticism that he had before. I have always thought that he is a wonderful player. And he showed it. The way he led our batting from the forefront. He batted at No.4 but I don't think it was his favourite position in the IPL but he did and scored all those runs. But when he opened he got a hundred for us at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Home game I think against Gujarat Titans. He is just quality, he just oozes class. When he scores runs, I am not surprised," says Pietersen. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.
