### A Fiery Start with Morné Morkel

A newly released promo has fans buzzing — former South African fast bowler Morné Morkel, now the Indian cricket team’s bowling coach, appears in the premiere episode, putting contestants through a high-speed pace challenge clocking 150 KPH. It’s a fitting kickoff for a season built entirely around raw fear and physical grit.
