As we celebrate National Sports Day today, August 29, actor Sidharth Malhotra took the opportunity to treat his fans to some nostalgia. He shared a throwback clip and some photographs, featuring himself and his Kapoor & Sons co-star Fawad Khan, engaged in a game of cricket. The video not only brought back fond memories but also made his fans excited, with many expressing their hopes of seeing Sidharth in an upcoming biopic of cricketer Yuvraj Singh. Taking to Instagram, Sidharth gave a glimpse of his passion for sports, particularly cricket.

In the photos, he is playing cricket amid scenic mountain landscapes. At one point, Sidharth playfully boasted that his team was always better, which made Fawad burst into laughter.

“From Delhi streets to film sets, my love for cricket remains unchanged! Sports were always a big part of my life – basketball, club-level rugby, football, and of course, gully cricket. They helped shape me into who I am today and built my physical and mental strength. Now, shoot breaks are just an excuse for a quick cricket fix! National Sports Day Throwback,” read his caption.

Sidharth’s fans wasted no time flooding the comments section with their thoughts and wishes. One enthusiastic fan commented, “I hope that he gets selected for Yuvraj Singh’s biopic,” while another admirer praised him with, “Inspiring as always!!” “Would love to see you in a sports biopic,” asked another viewer.

The post even caught the attention of cricketer Rashid Khan, who responded with heart-eye emojis, showing his appreciation.

This buzz around Sidharth’s potential involvement in a cricket biopic comes shortly after the official announcement of a Yuvraj Singh biopic. The project will reportedly be produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ravi Bhagchandka under the banners of T-Series and 200 Not Out Cinema.

Meanwhile, Sidharth has also been making headlines for his rumoured involvement in Race 4. According to Pinkvilla, Sidharth is in early discussions to join the cast. The film, produced by Ramesh Taurani, is said to reboot the franchise with Saif Ali Khan reprising his role.
