Playing for Khiladi XI, actor Akshay Kumar's team, Munawar Faruqui showcased his cricketing talent beyond his comedy career. He demonstrated his prowess by taking the wicket of Sachin Tendulkar at the match's outset. Faruqui bowled a delivery wide of the off-stump, leading Tendulkar to attempt a fine-leg shot. However, Tendulkar, with his extensive experience, top-edged the ball, resulting in Naman Ojha catching it at gully. Munawar's early performance, including dismissing Tendulkar and taking a catch off Yusuf Pathan in the seventh over, has made him a league standout.
