Sehwag demolished the West Indies bowling as he scored 219 off just 149 balls, taking the team total to 418, which is India’s highest total in ODIs to date.
In the episode that aired on the 19th, the prize money for the question about Kumble was 12 lakh 50 thousand rupees. The question about Anil Kumble was, “Who was the umpire at the bowler’s end when Indian spin giant Anil Kumble took 10 for 10 wickets (against Pakistan) in a single innings in Tests?" The four options given to the participant were Piloo Reporter, S Venkataraghavan, David Shephard, and AV Jayaprakash.
