Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth to shake a leg in Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa 6?

Former Indian cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth is likely to appear in the upcoming season of dance reality show Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa 6.

There is a buzz that the 53-year-old former chairman of the selection committee, has given his nod to shake a leg alongside 12 contestants.

"We are talking to few cricketers and we hope to have one on the show. We have spoken to him. And hopefully we will have one cricketer on the show. We always look to have either a cricketer or a politician on the show," Raj Nayak, CEO of Colors Channel, said at a press conference.

Earlier, Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa had witnessed several sport personalities including former Sri Lankan skipper Sanath Jayasuriya, boxer Akhil Kumar, former Indian cricketer Mohinder Amarnath, football player Baichung Bhutia and former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja, testing their dance skills.
