Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor rarely shares glimpses of her personal life on social media. However, the actor recently treated fans to a fun moment from a play date with her son, Taimur Ali Khan. The mother-son duo enjoyed a game of cricket, and Kareena could not resist praising her own bowling skills. She jokingly compared her bowling to that of Indian pace ace Jasprit Bumrah.
Kareena Kapoor’s playdate with son Taimur Ali Khan
On Tuesday, Kareena took to Instagram and shared a couple of pictures of herself playing cricket with Taimur. Dressed in a pink shirt and blue jeans, Kareena was seen bowling to Taimur, who stood ready in the nets with his bat. Channelling the iconic energy of her Jab We Met character Geet and her famous line, “Main apni favourite hoon”, Kareena wrote, “Don’t underestimate my talent. I can give Bumrah competition too.”
Jasprit Bumrah is widely regarded as one of India’s finest bowlers and among the best fast bowlers in world cricket. Known for his lethal yorkers and ability to deliver under pressure, Bumrah has consistently been India’s go-to bowler across all formats.
Earlier, Kareena had revealed in an interview that Taimur is not particularly interested in cinema and is more passionate about cricket and football. The actor shared that Taimur often asks whether she is friends with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli and whether she could arrange a phone call with them.
Taimur’s late grandfather, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, was also a celebrated cricketer. He captained the Indian cricket team and received the C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, the highest honour bestowed by the BCCI on a former player.
