The excitement is about to reach new heights as KBC brings cricket into the mix. In an upcoming special episode, Amitabh Bachchan will welcome India’s Women’s Cricket team, including stars like Harmanpreet Kaur, Shafali Verma, Deepti Sharma, Richa Ghosh, Sneh Rana, Harleen Kaur Deol, and head coach Amol Muzumdar.

Fans can look forward to a lively blend of stories from the pitch, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and playful banter as these champions put their minds to the test under the legendary host’s watchful eye.

The episode promises heartwarming glimpses into the personalities behind the helmets and jerseys. From humour-filled exchanges to reflections on teamwork and dedication, viewers will see a side of the women cricketers that’s rarely captured on screen, celebrating not just their achievements but also the camaraderie and spirit that drive their incredible journey in Indian cricket.

Season 17 also promises to tickle viewers’ funny bones with a special comedy episode that aired on as a Children's Day special episode featuring popular stand-up artists Anubhav Singh Bassi, Ravi Gupta, Abhishek Upmanyu, and Harsh Gujral.

In one amusing moment, Anubhav Singh Bassi playfully points out his similarities with the host, saying, “Both our initials are AB, I’ve acted in a film, so I can count myself as an actor like you, and I even studied at your college — Kirori Mal College in Delhi.”

Amitabh Bachchan responds warmly, expressing how proud he feels of Bassi. Bassi also recalls a funny hostel prank during the episode. He said, “The boys used to prank me. They’d ask me to stand outside any room and shout your famous catchword ‘Hyein’ to open the door. I did it multiple times.”

Comedians Ravi Gupta, Abhishek Upmanyu, and Harsh Gujral will share stories about their early struggles, family reactions to their comedy careers, and their excitement at meeting Amitabh Bachchan.
