Bonus Question: If the category is Cricket and the answer is today’s song, frame a question for it – like in the game show Jeopardy

It’s “Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon” from the movie “Kabhi Kabhi”

Here’s the clip. 

Here’s the explanation

Main – Pic 1 – Mine (in Minecraft)

Pal – Pic 2 – Phillippine Airlines

Do Pal – Pic 3 – 2 * (-pay) PAL

Ka – Pic 4 – Kaa

Shayar hoon – Pic 5 – Ghalib (Shayar) + Who?

Solution to Bonus Question:  “What song featured in Dhoni’s Instagram post announcing his retirement”. I was looking for the answer to point to the SONG and not the PLAYER, needed it to include references to both as well as the retirement / farewell aspect for awarding full points. 

Here are the smart folk who got it correct and scored full

TOP 10

Ramki Krishnan (1st, CHENNAI) – 11th time at #1

Priya Shyam (2nd, Bahrain)

Venkatraghavan Sahasranaman (3rd, Mumbai)

Pradeep Raghunathan (Chennai)

Arvind Ramaswamy (Pune)

Bash Ashok (Bangalore)

Priya sethu (Bahrain)

Supriya Mithal (Bangalore)

Shubha (bahrain)

Madhup Tewari (Port Blair, India)

OTHERS who got it correct AND Maxed the score

Aashwina, Anu Ananth, Priya B, Vinutha, Praseetha, Maya Sharma, Savera Mehra, Mahesh, Gayathri’, Arun Raman, Sagnik Sinha, Siddharth watwe, Hari kumar, Rajee Gurumurthy, Mona Sogal, Anjana, Shilpi Ranjan, Vidhya Ganesh and Arshad

The most cryptic question was from Pradeep who asked – “Saath agar Cricket ka Saath Chodta Hai.. toh kya gaata hai?” – Hum Saath ke Saath hain:)

The shortest question that perfectly answers it was Harikumar’s pithy “What is MSD’s ‘swansong’?”

Drawing from “pun”baadu and with some pal vali oops pallavi was Gayathri’s distraught plea “What “Pal*lavi did MSD sing as he bid adieu to international cricket?”

Priya Balasubramaniam chose her and our favourite shot to ask (How the) cricketer who plays the helicopter shot bids a poetic adieu !

All these get honorouble mentions. Well done folks

The following got the song but missed some points on the bonus though they connected the song and the announcement

Smita – How did dhoni retire from cricket?

Lakshmi Prakash and Nandini Ganesh – What was Dhonis favourite song?

Anupama Bharadhwaj – Who announced retirement from international cricket yesterday at 1929hrs?

Zulfikar Ali – Who is at the end of his international cricket career (and a couple of variations of that)

Srivani Grandhi – Who used this as background song recently in their post.

The following got the song and but missed the connect

Aparna Menon – Got run out in two balls or what? Main ball do ball ka shaayar hoon…

Anita – Jindagi ek katputliyo ka khel hai

Geetha Ramaprasad – Aap kaisa shayar ho ? and

Sudha Bhaskaran – Which two moments do you cherish?

Must say I loved all the fabulous responses. All of you ROCK:) Congrats to all who played and see you with a new puzzle at 2:30PM Bahrain
