Last week, actor Salman Khan joined the commentary section at India vs Pakistan World Cup 2023 match on Star Sports and opened up about his love for cricket. Also, promoting his upcoming film 'Tiger 3,' he extended warm wishes to team India.
Acknowledging the pressure on the Indian team, Salman said, "Pressure toh bahot hi hoga, you should go out and stadium ke bahar maaro (There must be a lot of pressure on the team. They must go all out and hit sixes out of the stadium)." "Full confidence ke saath khelo (be confident)."
Salman also spoke about cricketer Shubman Gill. He said, "Shubman should play. I shot the climax of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan when I had both COVID-19 and dengue. He is young also. I think he should play." Rohit Sharma previously confirmed Shubman's entry in the match. He replaced Ishan Kishan after missing the first two matches due to dengue.
At the studio, Salman was joined by Harbhajan Singh and Mohammad Kaif for the conversation. As Salman promoted his film, Harbhajan heaped praises on the actor. He said, "When there is a match between India and Pakistan, Virat Kohli becomes the Salman Khan of the stadium."
Besides talking about Tiger and Shubman, the actor also took KL Rahul's name when asked about his favourite player in the team. In a segment, he referred to Virat Kohli as Chulbul Pandey from his film 'Dabangg' and Rohit Sharma as Pawan of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan.'
