Cricketers and their TV appearances

Virat Kohli: The cricketer made an appearance on Comedy Nights With Kapil and shared many anecdotes from his life. He was rolling on the floor laughing at the gags. He was also seen blushing at the mere mention of Anushka Sharma's name. Being a sport that he is, Virat shook a leg with Daadi who was also seen flirting with the handsome Virat. Daadi even pulled Virat's leg by making fun of Virat and Ansuhka's alleged trip to Spain. The poor cricketer could do nothing but hide his face behind Daadi's dupatta. He even got a shagun ki pappi from Daadi. Further Virat was seen selling lipstick on Bua's insistence. His act left everyone, from audiences to Kapil Sharma and Navjot Singh Sidhu, in splits.

Kapil Dev: Kapil Dev visited the sets of Comedy Nights With Kapil with wife and daughter. He was seen bonding with guest judge of the show Navjot Singh Sidhu over old times and the Haryana Hurricane was taken down the memory lane by Kapil Sharma who showed him pictures of his cricketing times. Kapil Dev even imitated the evergreen Dev Anand and displayed his amazing sense of humour and mimicry. He surprised many when he enacted a short conversation that took place between former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Dev Anand during a match at Pakistan.

The cricketer further revealed about his secret trips with wife on the cricket tours. He told the audience how he got late for his own wedding and to this his wife said, "Abhi bhi late aate hain." Funny anecdotes from the great legend didn't stop here. Kapil Dev also went on to narrate an incident from his honeymoon in England where he tried making chapatis but gave up at the atta stage after wasting 5 kg of flour and finally ordered a pizza!

Cricketers and their TV appearances

Sunil Gavaskar and Virender Sehwag: A special episode of Comedy Nights With Kapil saw the legend of cricket, Sunil Gavaskar and hero of the game, Virendra Sehwag. The episode marked the debut of Navjot Singh Sidhu as the host whereas Kapil Sharma was seen enjoying Sidhu's seat. Gavaskar and Sehwag tried teaching Bua to bat. Pinky Bua, who is know for flirting with Bollywood heartthrobs, was this time seen taking few tips from Gavaskar and Sehwag on cricket.

Sunil Gavaskar was seen in a new avatar dancing and cracking jokes on the show. When one of the studio audience and a fan requested Gavaskar and Sehwag to do a victory dance with them, both of them happily agreed to do it. The cricketing genius not only had a gala time on the show but also shared some great memories.

Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh: Cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh were guests on Comedy Nights With Kapil. And with cricketers as guests and Navjot Singh Sidhu too, it was natural that along with the jokes and revelry, the set became a perfect cricket ground for indulging in some gully cricket. While the cricketing legends had a blast playing with Kapil and his team, Sidhu kept everybody entertained with his quirky commentary. This was also the first time that an integration on Comedy Nights With Kapil was shot outdoors.

Pathan brothers: Cricketers Irfan Pathan and Yusuf Pathan shot for one of the episodes of Comedy Nights With Kapil. Since Yusuf Pathan plays for Kolkata Knight Riders owned by Shah Rukh Khan's IPL team, he even did a jig on the song 'Lungi dance...' in spite of having two left feet. He also uttered a few dialogues from Shah Rukh Khan's movie Don and also enacted the typical SRK pose. Daadi and Pankhuri also entertained with their trademark gags on the show. Further, the two old ladies went about searching for a suitable match for Irfan Pathan by holding a singing and dancing contest. The act left audiences and the cricketer brothers in splits.
