Kaun Banega Crorepati 17: Harmanpreet Kaur shares emotional childhood memories: "When I was born..."

Harmanpreet Kaur will appear on new episode of KBC

Indian cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur will soon grace the guest’s chair in the upcoming episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The forthcoming episode takes an emotional turn as skipper Harmanpreet Kaur considers her early years after the celebrations of the Women's Cricket World Cup Champions.

The episode pays tribute to the cricketer. In the episode, Amitabh Bachchan talks about how her father once made her a special T-shirt that said "Good Batting."

Harmanpreet revealed in the episode, “The day I was born, my father was at his office, and the family sent him a message that my mother had been taken to the hospital. When I first wore those clothes, no one noticed.”

She added, “But after I played for India, a few years later, when we were shifting houses, my mother found them and said, ‘Let me show you the clothes you wore on your first day.’ I saw a shirt with ‘Good Batting’ written on it.”

However, Amitabh Bachchan curiously asked Harmanpreet what inspired her to take up cricket.

Harmanpreet shared with pride, “One day, my school principal saw me playing. He told me that the school had many sports but no cricket team. He said, ‘If you join, I will create a team, because I have girls who play other sports.’ So I joined the school, he formed the team for me, and that’s how I got my chance to play in the girls’ cricket team.”

Long before Harmanpreet ever dreamed of captaining India's women's cricket team, the recovery of those tiny handmade garments became a lovely reminder of how much her father believed in her potential.

Kaun Banega Crorepati will premiere this Friday only on Sony Entertainment Television and streaming on Sony LIV.
