Cricket legend Kapil Dev will try his hand with fiction television, with the Indian take on “Everybody Loves Raymond” - “Sumit Sambhal Lega.” A source said, “He will play himself in the show. The role is currently for a few episodes, but if it goes well with the audiences, the makers are planning to make it a full-fledged one.” Confirming the news, Kapil said, “I am not limiting myself to being a cricketer. I want to move on in life, and in this show, I had to play myself, so it seemed like it would be a pleasant experience.” When asked if he ever thought of being an actor before, he said, “No, I never did. Also, if you ask Shah Rukh Khan to play Kapil Dev, he will be able to do it. But if you ask me to act, I will not be able to do it so well. Just like you see actors promoting the game of cricket, I feel when sport stars come to the field of entertainment, people should not be uptight about it.”
