What an idea sirjee! Akshay Kumar suggests a mixed Cricket team, like in Tennis

Akshay Kumar attended the Women s Cricket World Cup final at Lord s Cricket Ground, London, on July 23. Although our women in blue couldn t lift the cup, they won everyone s hearts back home in India. This has given Akshay an idea: how about Indian men and women cricketers coming together to form one team?

Like there are mixed doubles in tennis, why can t there be a men and women cricket match against another country? Why can t they have mixed cricket teams where six Indian men and six Indian women play against Australia s six men and six women? If this kind of a setup happens, it will be the biggest set-up ever, says Akshay, who was struck by the idea while watching a Wimbledon match on his phone.

This is not the first time that Akshay Kumar has come up with a revolutionary idea. Earlier, this year, he posted a video wherein he suggested a platform through which Indians can donate money to the family of the martyred soldiers. After an overwhelming response by everyone for Akshay Kumar s idea, the government took the idea seriously and within no time, a website called Bharat Ke Veer was started. Hence, it won t be a surprise if Akshay Kumar s recommendation for a mixed Cricket team also takes shape.

On the film front, Akshay Kumar is having a release, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, next month on August 11. The social satire co-stars Bhumi Pednekar and is directed by Shree Narayan Singh. His next release is expected to be 2.0, sequel to Rajinikanth s 2010 blockbuster Robot. It s a trilingual directed by Shankar and also featuring Amy Jackson. Gold, directed by Reema Kagti, and based on India s Olympic win in 1948, will be Akshay s release during Independence Day 2018. Besides, he will be seen in R Balki s PadMan alongwith Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte. Lastly, he has bagged Mogul, biopic of T-Series founder Gulshan Kumar.
