Varun also pulled off a Bumrah-esque run-up to accelerate to the right speed before launching a fiery delivery at the batter’s end. He was dressed in a red loose-fitted jersey and teamed it up with orange shorts. The textual layout in the clip reads, “Bollywood ka Bumrah”.

Varun Dhawan seems to be equally adept in batting. On his Instagram Stories, the Bollywood star dropped a video showcasing his batting talent. He smacked a big six sending the ball at a considerable elevation before it went over the roof.

On the personal front, Varun Dhawan and his wife Natasha Dalal welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on June 3. Sharing the happy announcement on Instagram, the actor wrote, “Our baby girl is here.

Besides that, Varun will begin shooting for Anees Bazmee’s No Entry 2, co-starring Diljit Dosanjh and Arjun Kapoor in December.
