After seeing Virat Kohli running on the cricket field, the fans can soon see him do the same albeit in a forest. The India cricket captain is reportedly set to feature in the popular survival television series Man vs Wild hosted by Bear Grylls on the Discovery Channel.

The British adventurer was recently in India to shoot a couple of episodes for the 14-part series. He worked with film superstars Rajnikanth and Akshay Kumar. Bear Grylls arrived in India on Monday and first shot with Rajinikanth for about six hours in the core forest area of Bandipur Tiger Reserve for the second and third episodes of the series.

On the other hand, Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar completed shooting for Man vs Wild with the adventurer on Thursday. Akshay reached the Rampur Elephant Camp in Mullehole forest range and shot for about three hours with Grylls, walking in the stream inside the forest, sitting near bushes, and under a tree, according to the Indian Express.

Grylls is now all set to work with Virat Kohli. The news outlet reported that not only the cricket superstar, Bollywood actress Dipika Padukone would also feature in the show. Virat Kohli is one of the fittest if not the fittest cricketer in the world and the fans are bound to be excited with the news.

The India cricket superstar has not made too many appearances on television show. Previously, he had appeared on popular chat show Comedy nights with Kapil but barring that, he has not made any such appearance on any television show. Virat Kohli is currently in New Zealand for the ongoing series.

India and New Zealand are currently playing the five-match T20I series. The Men in Blue have already won the series by winning the first three games. After the T20Is, both the teams will play three ODIs and a couple of Tests.
