KBC Junior: Cricket knowledge pays off as young contestant wins Rs 7.5 lakh

In a heart-stopping moment on Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC) Junior, young contestant Siddhant Bharti faced a Rs 7.5 lakh question that left viewers on the edge of their seats.

The question, asked by host Amitabh Bachchan, was: "In August 2025, which cricketer's statue was unveiled at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai?"

Siddhant's initial hesitation was overcome with the help of the 'Ask The Expert' lifeline, and he confidently answered Sunil Gavaskar, winning the coveted amount. The audience erupted in cheers as Bachchan congratulated the young contestant for his impressive knowledge and composure under pressure.

Sunil Gavaskar, a legendary Indian cricketer, was honoured with a life-size statue at Wankhede Stadium, recognising his monumental contributions to Indian cricket, including being part of India's first World Cup victory in 1983.
