Cricket legends Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri are set to bring their stories and humour to The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 5. The much-awaited episode will stream on Netflix on October 10, 2026, at 8 PM IST.
The two former Indian cricketers will sit down with host Kapil Sharma for an entertaining conversation covering their remarkable careers and memorable moments from the cricketing world. The episode is expected to feature several lesser-known locker-room stories, giving cricket fans a closer look at the experiences behind their celebrated careers.
The fifth season of The Great Indian Kapil Show premiered on September 26, 2026, and continues the show’s format of bringing popular personalities together for relaxed and humorous conversations.
Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri Revisit Cricket Memories
The upcoming episode will take viewers back to some memorable periods in Indian cricket. Sunil Gavaskar, 77, born on July 10, 1949, is expected to recall his playing days, including the time he faced the intimidating West Indies fast bowlers without wearing a helmet.
Ravi Shastri, 64, born on May 27, 1962, will also share his perspective on how the game has changed over the years. His conversation is expected to touch on the transformation of cricket following the emergence of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Former India cricketer and The Great Indian Kapil Show regular Navjot Singh Sidhu is also expected to be part of the episode. He is set to revisit stories from his early cricketing career, including a humorous memory involving Shastri.
Adding another dose of comedy, Sunil Grover will reportedly appear as former India captain Kapil Dev in a comic act.
