Bollywood hunk Tiger Shroff recently ignited the internet with a now-viral Instagram video that highlighted his cricketing abilities in nothing but black underwear. Joining him for practice was seasoned actor Akshay Kumar as they took a break from filming, and Shroff's cut body and strong batting elicited mixed reactions. While others admired his sportsmanship, others trolled him for his out-of-the-belongings outfit, with people posting "Kapde pehen ke bhi khel lo" on social media. The video, titled "Koi technique nahi par bahot jaan hai" (No technique, but a lot of power), was meant to point out that he had the skills to play huge shots, even impressing Akshay Kumar, who cheered from the non-striker's end.

This isn’t Shroff’s first experience with cricket or bold behaviors. He is known for being fit and taking action in roles and has shared parts of his athleticism time and time again through his gym workouts or football games. The cricket clip we saw recently was filmed during a casual game with friends, including Ganesh Acharya, which echoes his love for sport and ability to seek attention. However, the decision to wear underwear started a flow of memes and negative comments, where netizens questioned his choice of clothing, while some praised the confidence and six-pack abs.

Social Media Storm and Shroff’s Star Power

The video’s virality reflects Shroff’s knack for staying relevant, whether through films or hilarious social media behavior. While there was lots of trolling on social media, his fans were excited that he has this all-rounder vibe, which has led to comparisons to cricketers like Virat Kohli. Shroff is currently shooting Baaghi 4; this bold move cements his image as a fearless entertainer, unafraid to push boundaries.

The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to begin on March 22, Friday. Like every year, the cash-rich league will be opening with a grand ceremony with stars coming together at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. With the enthusiasm of IPL 2024 already high, the opening ceremony with a bunch of Bollywood stars and singers will be a perfect cherry on top.

According to the BCCI reports, legendary music composer AR Rahman, singer Sonu Nigam, actors like Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff will participate in the programme. Just like previous year’s opening ceremony at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, this year too the opening ceremony will begin at 6.30 pm IST just one hour ahead of the opening match of the IPL 2024 between defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
