Yogesh Sahu on Kaun Banega Crorepati

Overview

Yogesh Sahu, a 23-year-old IIT Bombay graduate and UPSC aspirant, won 50 lakh rupees on the television quiz show ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 18’. Sahu, who declined a campus placement to focus on civil services preparation, used his final lifeline to correctly answer the 50 lakh rupee question before opting to quit the game.

Following his win, details emerged regarding the specific question Sahu faced, which concerned the first Indian Derby winner in 1943. Sahu had expressed doubt over the option ‘Princess Beautiful’, but host Amitabh Bachchan later confirmed it was the correct answer. The show has continued to feature high-stakes questions, including a ₹1 crore trivia question regarding a 1912 Test cricket record involving bowler Jimmy Matthews and wicketkeeper Tommy Ward.
