Comedy Nights with Kapil: Memorable moments with cricketers

Cricket and entertainment always go hand-in-hand and a perfect amalgamation of the two can be seen each time cricketers appear on Comedy Nights with Kapil. Yes, we are talking about the special episodes of Comedy Nights with Kapil which feature our favourite cricketers. Famous cricketers who usually are not seen on any other TV show and are known for their rare public appearances, laugh their hearts out when they make an appearance on CNWK. Here we list down some of the most memorable moments from these episodes.

When Sehwag got a standing ovation from Gavaskar and Siddhu: Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar were one of the most dependable opening pairs that the Indian cricket team has ever had. When an audience member asked Sehwag to share his memories of the moment when he had scored 300 runs by hitting a six, Sehwag passionately described the whole episode. Sehwag told everyone that after scoring a century, Sachin, who was batting at the other end walked up to him and told him to not hit more sixes and rather play a consistent game but when Sehwag reached 295 he told Sachin that if Saqlain Mushtaq comes to bowl he will definitely not stop. As soon as Saqlain bowled his first ball of the over, Sehwaq hit a sixer. This confession compelled Gavaskar and Siddhu to give him a standing ovation.

Pathan brothers rocked the show: Apart from lifting the World Cup, one of the most memorable moments of the 2011 World Cup was the camaraderie between the Pathan brothers on the field. And the same translated on-screen when the two joined Kapil Sharma on his comic show, Comedy Nights with Kapil. Yusuf Pathan, who played for Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders, imitated the star on the show. He was also seen dancing on SRK's popular song, 'Lungi dance...' from Chennai Express. He also recited dialogue from Shah Rukh's Don while host Kapil Sharma cheered him on.

Virat gets Daadi's shagun ki pappi: Daadi was seen hitting on Virat Kohli as she does with most guys who come on the show. Daadi also shook a leg with him. Both Daadi and Virat Kohli grooved to 'Gandi baat...' from R.. Rajkumar and we must say that the young cricketer is a very good dancer in real life as well. But how can the show be complete without Daadi's shagun ki pappi. Virat was blessed with two shagun ki pappis from Daadi.

Virat blushes at the mere mention of Anushka Sharma: Virat Kohli is a big fan of CNWK. One of the best parts of the show is the audience interaction session. From tabloids to Comedy Nights with Kapil, Anushka's name seems to be following Virat wherever he goes and something really funny happened on the show when a fan named Anushka appeared on CNWK. It was Kapil's humour which proved to be the icing on the cake as he introduced himself to the guest named Anushka as, "myself Sharma."

When Kapil Dev secretly took wife on cricket tours: Kapil Dev, who came on the sets of the show with his wife and daughter, had fun on CNWK. The ace cricketer revealed many secrets about his personal life on the show. He told the audience how he got late for his own wedding and to this his wife added, "Abhi bhi late aate hain." However, Kapil Dev quickly blamed the baarat for getting late. Funny anecdotes from the great legend didn't stop there, Kapil Dev also went on to narrate an incident from his honeymoon in England where he tried making chappatis but gave up at the dough-kneading stage after wasting 5 kgs of flour before finally ordering a pizza. Kapil also opened up about how he used to take his wife on his cricket tours without letting the board know.
