In the latest episode of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 16’, contestant Ram Kishore Pandit had to use two lifelines while struggling to answer a cricket-related question worth Rs 80,000.

Ram Kishore faced a challenging cricketing question when he was asked about an IPL captain who has never played a Test match in India. The question turned out to be tricky and cost Pandit two lifelines.

The question asked by host Amitabh Bachchan was, “Which of these players, who were all captains of an IPL team in the year 2024, has never played a Test match for India. Options A-Shreyas Iyer, B- Hardik Pandya, C- Sanju Samson, D- Rishabh Pant.”

The Pandit told Bachchan that he had to use another lifeline. Amitabh, who had used the audience poll, gave him the remaining two options: video call a friend or double dip. Ram chose to video call and was asked to choose one of three contacts – Siddharth Gautam, Gaurav Pandey and Shyam Mohan Sharma. However, Ram could not get any help from his second lifeline.

Ram then chose the Double Dip lifeline. He then chose option A, Shreyas Iyer, as the answer, but it was shown as wrong on the computer screen. He then chose option C- Sanju Samson, which was the correct answer.

KBC 16 airs on Sony TV and streams live on SonyLIV from Monday to Friday. The first season of the quiz show aired on Star Plus in 2000.
