Virat Kohli led Indian cricket team is on winning streak. After registering a historic win in Australia, the team is all set to take down New Zealand in Napier. While Virat and his team are busy winning laurels, Katrina Kaif wants Anushka Sharma to put in small words for her with her husband. Recently on the sets of Bharat, Katrina took the field by fire. Showing off her cricket skills, the Zero actress posted a video of herself smashing sixes and fours. The actress made sure that every ball that hits the bat flies high in the sky and goes straight out of the field. "Pack up ke baad #bharat sets as the World Cup nears @anushkasharma perhaps u could put in a small word for me with the captain of the team 🙋🏻‍♀️some room for improvement in my swing, but over all not a bad all rounder," Katrina captioned the video. Lately, while speaking to Vogue, the actress opened about her reserved personality, she said, “I don’t like to blame other people. The responsibility is on me… but the trigger is how you approach me. I’m very sensitive, and if someone approaches me with a lack of warmth or affection, the wall goes up.” Busy with plum ensemble projects (Thugs of Hindostan, Zero, Bharat), she has had a remarkable 2018. “It has been wonderful because I’m really enjoying the process of creating. It began with Aanand L Rai’s Zero, and then with Bharat—even though it came to me out of the blue, the process has been wonderful. I’ve enjoyed learning, and I feel incredibly happy at work when I feel like I’m learning something new,” she added.

Actor Katrina Kaif has proved again that she is a woman of many talents. She has shared a video of herself playing cricket on the sets of her upcoming film, Bharat. In it, she is seen hitting a boundary several times, thought her form still needs a bit of work. Through the video, Katrina has also asked her friend and colleague, actor Anushka Sharma to put in a good word with her husband and Indian cricket team captain, Virat Kohli. “Pack up ke baad #bharat sets as the World Cup nears @anushkasharma perhaps u could put in a small word for me with the captain of the team... some room for improvement in my swing, but over all not a bad all rounder #apnatimeaayega,” she captioned the video. Her post got a reply from actor Preity Zinta who is also the owner of Kings XI Punjab. “Wow babe, we should hire you,” Preity commented on the post. “Do it pz come on let me play,” Katrina commented. Film director Zoya Akhtar also wrote ‘I (heart emoji) U’ in the comments as Katrina had used the #apnatimeaayega from Zoya’s upcoming film, Gully Boy. Actor Alia Bhatt also liked the video. Katrina and Anushka recently worked together in Aanand L Rai’s Zero. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan in the lead but flopped at the box office. Katrina’s project before Zero was Thugs of Hindostan with Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. That was a flop as well. Katrina will be seen with Salman Khan in Bharat, which is adapted from Korean Film, Ode To My Father. The film will reportedly tell the story of India in the last 70 years of Independence, from the perspective of a man. The film is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and also stars Disha Patani and Sunil Grover. Follow @htshowbiz for more ott:10
