Season 4 of The Great Indian Kapil Show is set to bring together one of Indian cricket’s most beloved trios. Following the massive success of the Bhojpuri special, Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, and Mohammad Kaif will grace the Netflix stage for an episode filled with nostalgia and high-octane banter.
1. The “Rich vs. Poor” Banter
The highlight of the promo involves Mohammad Kaif poking fun at his own financial status compared to his superstar teammates.
- The Quote: Kaif joked, “I am very poor compared to them. If they just brush their shoulders, five to six crores might fall out.”
- The Counter: Yuvraj Singh was quick to notice Kaif’s luxury footwear. When Kaif confirmed he was wearing Gucci shoes, Yuvraj sarcastically remarked, “And he calls himself poor!”
2. Why Cheerleaders Loved Rahul Dravid
Host Kapil Sharma cracked a viral joke about the legendary power-hitting of Sehwag and Yuvraj. He noted that during the peak of their careers, the cheerleaders would be exhausted from dancing to their non-stop boundaries.
“They would pray that Rahul Dravid comes to play so they could finally rest for a while,” Kapil quipped.
3. Retirement Life: Lazy Mornings & Golf Debates
When asked about their post-retirement routines, the trio gave contrasting answers:
- Yuvraj Singh admitted his main routine is “Alas” (laziness) and complained that he can’t even get Sehwag and Kaif to join him for a game of golf.
- Virender Sehwag, in his classic style, dismissed the idea of golf: “What will we accomplish playing golf now? We just decide what to eat for lunch and dinner!”
4. Double ‘Sidhu’ Energy
The episode features a nostalgic reunion as Navjot Singh Sidhu sits in his iconic guest chair. Adding to the fun, Sunil Grover appears dressed as “Super Sidhu,” leading to a chaotic and hilarious face-off of shayaris.
Season 4 Performance & Viewership
Despite the star-studded lineup of Season 4—which has already featured Priyanka Chopra, the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, and Kartik Aaryan—the show has seen fluctuating viewership.
- Bhojpuri Special: The previous episode with Manoj Tiwari and Pawan Singh garnered 2.1 million views in India.
- Global Ranking: The show has struggled to break into Netflix’s Global Top 10 consistently this season, though it remains a top-three fixture on Netflix India.
