“Gareeb” Kaif vs. The “Crorepati” Duo: Banter Ignites on The Great Indian Kapil Show

New Delhi, january 16, 2026: The legendary trio of Indian cricket—Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag, and Mohammad Kaif—has once again proven that while they may have retired from the pitch, their timing for comedy remains impeccable. In a teaser for the upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4 on Netflix, the 2002 NatWest heroes turned the stage into a “laugh riot” with a hilarious exchange about wealth and “struggle.”

The “5-6 Crore” Shakedown

The banter kicked off when host Kapil Sharma asked the icons how they spend their time these days. While Yuvraj admitted to “lazing around” and trying (unsuccessfully) to get Sehwag to play golf, Mohammad Kaif took a self-deprecating turn that quickly went viral.

Labeling himself as the “poor” one among the legends, Kaif quipped:

“If Yuvraj and Sehwag were to just brush their shoulders, ₹5-6 crore might fall out of their pockets just like that. I am a lot poorer than them!”

The comment reflects the massive commercial success Yuvraj and Sehwag enjoyed during the IPL era and through high-profile endorsements, compared to Kaif, who was often seen as the gritty, hardworking backbone of the early 2000s team.

Yuvraj’s “Gucci” Reality Check

Never one to miss a chance for a comeback, Yuvraj Singh was quick to spot a “rich” flaw in Kaif’s “gareeb” (poor) narrative. Looking down at his former teammate’s footwear, Yuvraj asked, “Which brand of shoes are you wearing?”

When Kaif sheepishly admitted they were Gucci, Yuvraj didn’t hold back. Turning to the audience and Sehwag, he joked, “Yeh gareeb hai paaji? Isne Gucci ke joote pehne hai!” (Is he poor, brother? He’s wearing Gucci shoes!). He capped it off with his signature mischievous smile, adding, “Thoko taali!”

A Reunion of Legends

Beyond the financial jokes, the episode promises a deep dive into the camaraderie that defined Sourav Ganguly’s era of Indian cricket.

• Virender Sehwag was seen in his classic “Multan ka Sultan” form, questioning why anyone would play golf after retirement. “What is the point?” he asked. “Now we should only be bothered about what’s on the lunch and dinner menu.”
• Navjot Singh Sidhu also joined the group on set, adding a layer of nostalgia as the seniors and juniors relived their days in the dressing room.

Why It Matters

This reunion comes at a time when fans are hungry for the “unfiltered” side of their heroes. With Yuvraj Singh’s net worth estimated at approximately ₹291 crore and Sehwag’s at ₹286 crore, the “5-6 crore” joke isn’t just a random number—it’s a nod to the legendary status they’ve built.

The episode is scheduled to stream this Saturday at 8 PM on Netflix, and if the promo is any indication, it’s set to be one of the most-watched segments of the season.
