More than love for Bollywood or acting, Kareena Kapoor's older son, Taimur, is perhaps more fond of cricket. In the latest YouTube podcast of Soha Ali Khan, where Kareena Kapoor is presented as the guest, it reveals that Taimur often asks his mother if she has connections in cricket. Taimur is willing to get a bat from two Indian cricket legends, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. 

Kareena said in the podcast, "The only thing he (Taimur) keeps asking is, ‘Are you friendly with Rohit Sharma? Are you friendly with Virat Kohli? Can you message and ask him if I can get that bat of his? Is there a contact you have for Lionel Messi?’ I’m like, ‘No! I don’t know them!’’. She added, “He isn’t even interested in music; he’s just interested in some Chelsea players right now.”

The Khan family has a rich cricketing history. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the late grandfather of Taimur, to date is still considered as one of India's finest captains and cricketers of all time. Pataudi played 46 Test matches, scoring 2,793 runs at an average of 34.91, including six centuries and sixteen half-centuries.

If we talk about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, both of them are now heading to Australia to play the upcoming white ball series, starting from October 19. India will play 3 One Day International matches, followed by 5 T20Is. Virat and Rohit will play only in the ODI series, as they retired from the other two international formats. After the Champions Trophy 2025 triumph, both of the batters will feature for the Men in Blue for the first time. 

Kareena Kapoor said about his son's favorite two cricketers

Few cricket fans are curious about the futures of Rohit's and Virat's international careers. There are rumors about their retirements. But BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla recently dismissed their chances of retirement after the India vs Australia series. 

"They are great batsmen. We will succeed in defeating Australia with them on the team. It is absolutely wrong to say that this is their last ODI series. It depends on the players as to when they have to retire," Shukla said.
