Why Aamir Khan was suggested by Irfan & Harbhajan to give up thought of playing cricket? | Watch video

Xtra Time Web Desk: Why did Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh suggested Aamir Khan to give up thought of playing cricket? Mr. Perfectionist of Bollywood, Aamir recently gave it a thought of showcasing his cricket skills. So, he decided to challenge two former India cricketers Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh to test his cricket talent. As it turned out though, Aamir failed horribly both with the bat and ball and was suggested by the two to give up any thought of playing cricket.

In a fun video shared by broadcasters Star Sports, Aamir was bowled off the first delivery he faced from Irfan. In fact, he could not trace the ball as it passed him and hit the stumps. And when he tried showcasing his bowling skills, Harbhajan dispatched his delivery into the orbit. The actor eventually gave up the thought of playing cricket while Irfan and Harbhajan cheered him up by suggesting he should pick up something that suits him like playing a host on the show.

So, the Bollywood actor decided to host a special segment on Star Sports Cricket Live and entertain the fans with his anchoring skills on May 28, ahead of the IPL 2022 mega final.

The whole idea is a part of the pre-release excitement of Aamir’s much anticipated release Laal Singh Chaddha. It is an out of the box concept for the promotion of the film by Aamir Khan Productions.

In the video shared by Star Sports on its social media handle Twitter, the caption reads, “#AamirKhan is out to prove his worth as a batsman to our experts @irfanpathan_official & @harbhajan3! Can his batting win them over to make the duo go #AamirInMyTeam? Stay tuned to know what happens next! @aamirkhanproductions.”

Talking about the movie, Laal Singh Chaddha is a Hindi remake of Tom Hanks-starrer Forrest Gump directed by Robert Zemeckis. It stars Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The film will release on August 11.
