The Indian Women's Cricket team set the floor for the latest season of the popular reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati 9 on Friday.
When last night Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan opened the new season, titled ‘Nayi Chaah Nahi Raah’, there was another surprise package waiting for us. He called on stage the captain of Indian cricket team Mithali Raj, senior player Jhulan Goswami, Smriti Mandhana, Poonam Raut, Harmanpreet Kaur, Veda Krishnamurthy and Deepti Sharma.
The cheerful audience applauded for the women in blue for their excellent show at the Lord’s cricket ground when they were nine runs short of winning their first Women’s World Cup title.
