Mumbai, Dec 6 (NationPress) In a captivating episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the presence of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team ignited a moment of profound national pride. World Cup champion Sneh Rana humbly requested Amitabh Bachchan to honor her with the medal she proudly brought to the show.
What began as a light-hearted exchange transformed into an unforgettable emotional highlight. This moment became a powerful symbol: a sporting hero presenting her greatest accolade to a cultural icon in front of millions, honoring the daughters of India who are continually reshaping sporting achievements.
As Sneh stepped forward with her medal, she expressed that standing alongside Amitabh Bachchan and presenting it to him was a dream shared by many. Bachchan replied with heartfelt admiration, recognizing the team’s remarkable achievement.
He noted that while numerous guests have occupied the hot seat, this team has significantly elevated its status by carrying India’s legacy around the globe. Their historic victory, he emphasized, is evidence that when belief aligns with action, the world reveres that legacy. The episode took a deeper emotional turn when Harmanpreet Kaur announced her decision to donate her KBC winnings to support the Indian Women’s Blind Cricket Team.
Amitabh Bachchan encouraged viewers to celebrate their resilience, hailing them as true champions who exemplify the very essence of sporting spirit in its most pure and inspiring form.
In a reflective moment, Captain Harmanpreet Kaur shared a personal story from her childhood during a candid chat with Big B. She recounted how her father customized a special T-shirt for her, featuring the words ‘Good Batting,’ a poignant moment that led Harmanpreet to narrate the emotional backstory behind that treasured memory.
Harmanpreet revealed, “On the day I was born, my father was at work, and the family informed him that my mother had been taken to the hospital. When I first wore those clothes, no one noticed. However, after I represented India, a few years later, during a house move, my mother found them and said, ‘Let me show you the clothes you wore on your first day.’ I saw a shirt with ‘Good Batting’ inscribed on it.”
Intrigued, Amitabh inquired what motivated Harmanpreet to pursue cricket. With pride, she recounted, “One day, my school principal saw me playing and informed me that while the school had various sports, there was no cricket team.
He said, ‘If you join, I will create a team because I have girls who play other sports.’ So I enrolled in the school, he formed the team for me, and that’s how I got my opportunity to play in the girls’ cricket team.”
