New Delhi:

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, who’re the joint house owners of Tiigers Of Kolkata on the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL), attended a press convention on the sidelines of the opening ceremony held in Mumbai on Wednesday. A video went viral from the press meet during which Kareena Kapoor could be seen answering the question if she will be able to play cricket. In the video, when a journalist asks Kareena if she will be able to play cricket, Saif Ali Khan promptly replies, “Of course, she’s a Pataudi.” With a giant smile on her face, Kareena says, “No, but I try. I am not a great player. I didn’t really hit the ball. But khelne ka aur dekhne ka maja bhi alag alag hota hai (The sheer joys of playing and watching a match are different).” So I’m a spectator. I’m an viewers. Saif is usually a participant.” Saif and Kareena can be seen wearing the same jersy at the event. Sharing the video, a fan page dedicated to Kareena Kapoor captioned it, “It’s actually beautiful how Saifu helps her.”
