New Delhi: Indian women’s cricket team players arrived with their coach in the December 5 episode of the TV show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 17’. The set of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ became buzzing with the presence of Harmanpreet Kaur, Deepti Sharma, Shefali Verma, Richa Ghosh, Harleen Deol, Sneh Rana and Coach Amol. Harmanpreet Kaur, Shefali Verma and Deepti Sharma sat first on the hotseat. Amitabh Bachchan asked everyone one by one about their cricketing career. Shefali Verma told that she became a cricketer because of her father who used to take her to training camps.
Amitabh Bachchan played the task of ‘Tag Attack’ with the players during the game. Shefali Verma was given the tag of ‘shopping lover’. Harmanpreet Kaur got the tag of ‘Angry Young Woman’. The tag of ‘Chatori Zubaan’ went to Richa Sharma and the tag of ‘Suron Ka Sartaj’ went to Coach Amol. He then sang the famous song ‘Main Pal To Pal Ka Shayar Hoon’ from Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Kabhi Kabhi’, which was written by Sahir Ludhianvi. Amidst the banter with Big B, the cricketers also answered his interesting questions.
Amitabh Bachchan asked the players the fifth question related to the song. The question is- ‘Which singer has sung the Punjabi song ‘Badboy’ with Gurlej Akhtar?’ The options are-

D.Prem Dhillon
Here Harmanpreet Kaur chose option D. Prem Dhillon, which is the correct answer. He used his first lifeline ‘Audience Poll’ on the 8th question. The question is- Which of these temples is situated on the Trikuta Hills at an altitude of about 5200 feet? The options are-
