Bollywood and cricket are the two most popular industries in India. Cricketers and Bollywood stars enjoy immense fame in the country. Often, the two industries come together at events and celebrations. 

Some of the IPL teams like Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings are also owned by Bollywood actors. Some actors attend matches and other cricket events to promote their films.

Salman Khan names his favourite cricketer

During Indian Premier League 2023, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan visited the Star Sports studio in Mumbai for a special appearance on the channel to promote his film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, which was released in April this year. He spoke about cricket and films in his special appearance on the sports channel.


"There is a boy who came from North to become the caption of Chennai Team. He is my favourite. This time too, Dhoni’s love for Chennai and cricket will make him do something really special," Salman said during IPL 2023.

Chennai went on to win the IPL 2023 for a record fifth time under Dhoni's captaincy. The actor then spoke about the fittest cricketer, mentioning Virat Kohli. 

"There was a boy very very hardworking, focused only on his game and he became the fittest cricketer."

Meanwhile, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was commercially unsuccessful. Salman will next be seen in films like Tiger vs Pathan and Tiger 3.
