Cricket is a gentleman's game, where do cheerleaders figure?
It's also a gentlewoman's sport.


Moral police had a problem with cheerleaders during the last IPL tournament. How do you think they will react this year?
I hope they take it in good humour. But if they create a hue and cry this year, I will tell them to be a sport.


Who are your guardian angels?
My wife and my daughter.


Is your wife, Dona, helping you judge, since dancing is such an integral part of being a cheerleader?
No. Her style of dancing is very different.

Why have we not seen you participating in dance reality shows like a few other cricketers?
I have not been offered any. Hopefully, let's see in the future...

What do you think will Mortaza, the new addition to Kolkata Kight Riders, bring to the team?
He can bat and bowl. But unfortunately he plays for a weak team (Bangladesh).

Have you spoken to Shah Rukh Khan post his surgery?
Yes, I have spoken to him and wished him a speedy recovery.

Now that he is out of action for sometime, are you calling the shots?
I am the captain, he takes other decisions.

Kolkata is having its Fashion Week, will you walk the ramp?
No.

Knights and Angels airs on NDTV Imagine
