Adding her signature wit to the post, Kareena playfully suggested that her bowling skills might just rival those of Indian pace star Jasprit Bumrah. Channelling the confidence of her iconic Jab We Met character Geet, she wrote, “Don’t underestimate my talent. I can give Bumrah competition too.”

The light-hearted post instantly resonated with fans, offering a rare and refreshing peek into the family’s downtime.

Taimur’s Passion For Cricket Continues To Grow

Kareena has previously spoken about Taimur’s growing interest in sports, revealing that the youngster is far more drawn to cricket and football than the world of cinema.

In an earlier interview, the actor shared that Taimur often asks her whether she knows Indian cricket stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli personally. He has even wondered if she could arrange a phone call with the sporting icons.

Cricket also holds a special place in Taimur’s family history. His late grandfather, Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, remains one of India’s most respected cricketers. The former Indian captain was honoured with the prestigious C. K. Nayudu Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001, the highest recognition awarded by the BCCI to a former player.

Meanwhile, Jasprit Bumrah, whom Kareena jokingly referenced in her post, is widely celebrated as one of the finest fast bowlers in modern cricket, renowned for his pinpoint yorkers and match-winning performances under pressure.
