Kareena Kapoor Khan turns bowler for son Tim, says "can give competition to Bumrah"
London, June 23
Actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has been enjoying a family vacation with husband Saif Ali Khan and their sons, Taimur and Jeh.
On Tuesday, she offered a glimpse into their holiday fun, sharing a photo of a cricket session with her elder son, Taimur, affectionately called Tim.
The picture captures Kareena bowling while Taimur takes his turn at the crease, batting.
However, it was her caption that left netizens in splits. She quipped about giving tough competition to Indian pace superstar Jasprit Bumrah.
"Don't underestimate my talent... I can give Bumrah competition too," she wrote alongside the picture.
Kareena's post caught Bumrah's attention as he responded with a cute message.
"I have no doubt...great skill," he captioned, adding a laughing emoji.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Kareena will be seen alongside Prithviraj Sukumaran in Daayra, which is helmed by Meghna Gulzar.
'Daayra' explores how a single disturbing act can trigger equal and opposite reactions, shaping public opinion and raising complex moral questions.
The film delves into the grey areas of justice and truth, encouraging audiences to reflect rather than offering easy answers, as per the press release.
Written by Yash Keswani, Sima Agarwal and Meghna Gulzar, the thriller was announced last year, with Kareena expressing her excitement about working with the filmmaker and co-star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Produced by Junglee Pictures and Pen Studios, Daayra is scheduled for a theatrical release on September 18, 2026.

Love how Bumrah played along with the joke! That's the spirit of Indian cricket - always keeping it light and fun. And Kareena is such a doting mom, always making time for her kids despite her busy schedule. ❤️
I mean, Jasprit Bumrah is literally the best in the world right now, but okay Kareena, we see you! 😂 At least Tim's getting some quality cricket practice - next generation of Indian bowling talent in the making?
Honestly, it's refreshing to see celebrities being so relatable. My mom used to bowl to me in the garden too - those are the moments that shape you. Also, really looking forward to Daayra! Meghna Gulzar always delivers thought-provoking films.
Kareena's caption is funny, but comparing yourself to Bumrah? That's a big claim! Still, as a parent myself, I get it - you're proud of even the smallest moments with your kids. Hope Tim becomes a better bowler than his mom though! 🏏
This is so cute! Kareena is one of those rare celebrities who keeps it real. From her pregnancy posts to now playing cricket with Tim - she's genuinely a hands-on mom. And Bumrah's response shows how down-to-earth our cricket stars are too. Win-win! 🌟
