Cricket buffs were in for an entertaining latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC), as the iconic Amitabh Bachchan opened fire with a tricky question on Test cricket. Having seen their sharing of cricket trivia in the game show from time to time, this one seemed like an interesting question.

KBC Contestant Nailed Amitabh Bachchan’s England 500-Run Day Question for INR 6.40 Lakh

With INR 6.40 lakh at stake, Big B tested the contestant's knowledge on a historic 2022 cricket milestone which went somewhat like this:

" In 2022, which team became the first to score more than 500 runs on the first day of a Test match?" 

The options included India, Australia, New Zealand, and England from which the participant had to identify the correct one, which he did successfully and bagged the INR 6.40 lakh prize. The correct answer was England as they had bludgeoned 506/4 against Pakistan on December 1, 2022, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.


England’s Record-Breaking Day

England smashed records left, right, and centre with their belligerent batting. With Brendon McCullum as coach and driven by the aggressive 'Bazball' approach, England created history, becoming the first team to score over 500 runs on the opening day of any Test match as Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope smashed centuries.

The swashbuckling performance set the tone not just for that Test but set the base for a historic series win for England in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that not all KBC participants have been equally lucky when it comes to cricket questions.

In one of the earlier episodes, another contestant was bowled over by a cricket-related question about the Emerging Player award winner in IPL 2024. The options were Nitish Kumar Reddy, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Riyan Parag, and Shivam Dube. Unfortunately, the participant couldn't crack it. The correct answer was Nitish Kumar Reddy.
