The latest episodes of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3 have transcended traditional comedy, serving up a unique multiverse where the worlds of cricket, cosmic battles, and K-drama-inspired challenges brilliantly collide, all presented in Kapil Sharma’s signature style. These much-anticipated episodes featured prominent Indian cricket stars, including Rishabh Pant, Gautam Gambhir, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Abhishek Sharma, delivering an abundance of non-stop laughter and some of the season’s most unforgettable moments yet.

A standout performance that stole the show was Sunil Grover’s portrayal of Manjot Singh Sidhu, a hilarious, cosmic spoof of the well-known Navjot Singh Sidhu. In one particularly amusing segment, Sunil Grover’s character transformed into a larger-than-life, space-traveling version of Sidhu Paaji, who not only entertained but took planetary matters into his own hands. A prime example was his decisive action when Pluto made a sneaky return to the solar system; Sidhu Paaji promptly banished it, humorously declaring, “Teri wajah se baccho ka padhai mein syllabus badh raha hai” (Because of you, children's syllabus is increasing). This segment caused the audience to erupt in laughter, as Sidhu’s chaotic space mission hilariously spiraled, becoming one of the most replayed moments of the episode.

Another moment that resonated deeply with fans involved Sunrisers Hyderabad star Abhishek Sharma, who revealed his unique “manifestation chit” ritual. Sidhu disclosed that Abhishek carries a small note in his pocket with the number of runs he intends to score, flashing it dramatically to dedicate it to the “Orange Army” once his target is achieved. Abhishek shared, “Main journaling karta hoon, aur yeh idea Shikhar Paaji (Shikhar Dhawan) ne diya tha.” He added that despite a slight dip in performance in Hyderabad, fans continued to show immense love, inspiring him to do something special for them. A cheeky comment from Abhishek, pointing at Yuzvendra Chahal, quipped, “Inhone mera ek catch chhoda tha — kaafi help ki!” highlighting the light-hearted banter that defined the episode.

The show also brought a 'Squid Game'-inspired segment to the stage, turning it into a desi-style pentathlon for the cricketers. Netflix’s signature pink guards challenged the stars to a chaotic lemon-and-spoon race, with an added twist: their legs were tied, and spoons were held firmly in their mouths. Kapil teamed up with Abhishek, while Chahal partnered with Rishabh Pant, leading to absolute mayhem. The race was filled with slips, slides, and playful attempts at cheating, keeping everyone, including the audience, in splits. While fairness was questionable, the segment’s entertainment value was undeniably high.

Moreover, the episodes offered glimpses into the cricketers’ lesser-seen sides. Gautam Gambhir, known for his intense, no-nonsense persona, surprised fans with his unexpectedly sharp sense of humor. He delivered punchlines, took playful digs, and kept pace with Kapil Sharma’s rapid-fire jokes like a seasoned comedian. Viewers, accustomed to Gambhir’s serious cricketing avatar, were genuinely caught off guard by his easygoing and humorous presence, making it a major highlight. Rishabh Pant also had a hilarious moment when he playfully challenged Kapil Sharma’s comedic prowess. When Pant asked Kapil, “What do you do when someone funnier than you is around?”, Kapil’s iconic, unhesitating response — “Main usse cut kar deta hoon” (I edit them out) — landed perfectly, leaving the entire cast and audience roaring with laughter. This classic Kapil Sharma comeback underscored his enduring reign in the comedy scene.

The blending of cricket and comedy with a dash of out-of-this-world imagination is rapidly becoming a beloved formula for The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 3. Kapil Sharma’s signature humor, Sunil Grover’s versatile characterizations, and spontaneous banter with the cricketers collectively created an electric, unscripted vibe that kept fans hooked. Fans particularly appreciated seeing the playful and light-hearted side of cricketers like Rishabh Pant and Yuzvendra Chahal, whose on-set games and jokes offered a refreshing break from their usual on-field intensity. As The Great Indian Kapil Show continues to push its creative limits and explore fresh formats and guest dynamics, these latest cricket special episodes reinforce its position as one of the most-watched comedy shows on Netflix, leaving fans eagerly awaiting more madness in upcoming episodes.
