The Women’s Cricket World Cup champions are set to appear on Kaun Banega Crorepati, celebrating their historic win with host Amitabh Bachchan. While top players will join the episode, Smriti Mandhana is notably absent
Smriti Mandhana
The upcoming episode of the quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati hosted by Amitabh Bachchan is set to host the members of the World Cup-winning Indian Women’s Cricket team. The team created history earlier this month by winning the World Cup in Mumbai. The episode will feature the skipper, Harmanpreet Kaur, Harleen Kaur Deol, Richa Ghosh, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, and India Women’s Team Head Coach Amol Muzumdar. However, team India’s explosive opener Smriti Mandhana seems to have given a miss to the episode.
What to expect from the episode?
The episode brings together two of the nation’s greatest passions, cricket and quizzing. Viewers can look forward to fun-hearted moments, on-field anecdotes, team camaraderie, and a spirited exchange between the players and the show host, Amitabh Bachchan. The episode will also further celebrate the pride and power of India’s Women in Blue.
Earlier this month, team India defeated South Africa in a repeat of what the Men’s cricket team did to them in the T20 World Cup 2024 Final.
South Africa won the toss, and skipper Laura Wolvaardt decided to bowl first. The Indian squad hung up a score of 298 runs, a hairline short of the 300 mark. In came the Proteas, and Laura Wolvaardt immediately sent the Indian fans in a vortex of anxiety as she scored a brilliant 101 from 98 balls before she was sent to the pavilion by Deepti Sharma.
However, Laura proved to be the sole top-scorer for South Africa, and after a set innings, the Proteas choked again in the finals as team India won by 52 runs. Deepti Sharma was feted with Player of the Tournament honour, and Shafali Verma was hailed as the Player of the Match.
Smriti Mandhana to skip KBC episode
Smriti has been dominating headlines since the beginning of the month. After the glorious win, she was in the news for her wedding with singer Palaash Muchhal. However, the wedding was indefinitely postponed hours before the ceremony on November 23 after Smriti's father fell sick and needed hospitalisation. However, unverified social media posts claim Palaash Muchhal cheated on Smriti forcing the crickter to call off the wedding.
