She has put away her cricket bat but Anjum Chopra,former captain of the Indian women’s cricket team,is still good to play.This time,she is padding up for Fear Factor-Khatron ke Khiladi Season 4,which will be aired on Colors in May. “It is not about scoring heavily. It is about how you win the game,or perform consistently. Success is all about achievement in sports,” she says,as she gears up to pit wits with host Akshay Kumar. “Akshay is a great actor.
