Harshada Rege (DNA; November 8, 2018)

The sixth season of Koffee With Karan (KWK) has had the who’s who of B-Town gracing it. This time, however, the show will get a sporty twist. For the first time in its five-season-long run, it will have the country’s two most promising cricketers — K L Rahul and Hardik Pandya — as guests. They are also among the most eligible bachelors in the sporting world at present. While the former is a top-order right-handed batsman and an occasional wicket-keeper, the latter is an all-rounder.

Says a source, “As teammates, they share a great camaraderie and are quite close to each other. And that surely will come across on the show. Hardik is candid, while Rahul is a tad more diplomatic.” As for their personal lives, Hardik is said to be dating Esha Gupta, while Rahul has been spotted hanging out with Nidhhi Agerwal. He, however, has maintained that she is just a friend. The source adds, “No topic is taboo on the couch, so it will be fun to see how the two players handle the googlies that Karan bowls.”
