Former international cricketer Morné Morkel is set to feature in the upcoming season of Khatron Ke Khiladi, titled Darr Ka Naya Daur. The South African former fast bowler will join the adventure reality show as celebrity contestants take on a series of stunts under the supervision of host Rohit Shetty.
The new season has been filmed in Cape Town, South Africa, and will feature a range of physically demanding challenges. Morkel’s appearance adds a cricket-related element to the show, with the contestants taking on a stunt involving the former pacer.
In one of the challenges, the contestants will be asked to catch a ball bowled by Morkel. The task will require them to react quickly and maintain their focus while facing the pace of the former international
fast bowler. The stunt will test their reflexes and ability to handle pressure.
Sharing his excitement about joining the show, Morné Morkel said, “For years, I challenged the world’s best batsmen with my pace. Now, I’m bringing that same intensity as the new face of fear on Khatron Ke Khiladi. Working with Rohit Shetty right here in my home country, South Africa, has been an incredible experience. This season, audiences can expect bigger stunts, tougher challenges, and levels of fear like never before.
