What happens when a group of star cricketers trades the pitch for the punchlines? You get an episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show that’s more explosive than a last-over sixer. This Saturday, July 5, Netflix drops a fresh episode of its hit comedy series, and this one features a blockbuster batting lineup: Gautam Gambhir, Rishabh Pant, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Abhishek Sharma.
It’s cricket like you’ve never seen it before — off the field, unscripted, and unfiltered.
Kapil Sharma, cricket’s unofficial 13th man, welcomes the players into his laugh-packed dugout and wastes no time warming up the audience. He opens by seeking permission from “Coach sir” Gambhir, setting the stage for a wild innings of roasts, recalls, and ridiculous stories.
But the biggest twist? Gautam Gambhir — famously intense and no-nonsense — steals the show with razor-sharp comebacks and a surprisingly goofy side. Whether he’s taking a swing at Kapil or chuckling at the team’s banter, Gambhir’s unexpected comic timing hits it out of the park.
Rishabh Pant, back in high spirits, launches into one-liners like a true entertainer, while Yuzvendra Chahal adds his signature mischief and dry wit. Newbie Abhishek Sharma holds his ground — polite, observant, and playing it safe with seniors in the room — including the evergreen Sherry Pa himself.
From dressing-room secrets to cricketing quirks and everything in between, this episode feels less like a talk show and more like a family gathering — one where everyone happens to be a national-level athlete with top-tier comedy timing.
Catch this unmissable innings of laughter when The Great Indian Kapil Show streams this Saturday, only on Netflix.
