It would be worthy to note that in all they belted eight sixes.
While they won a memorable victory, Nischay and Aditya of BITS were mature to settle for the runner up title.

The winning team moves into the zonal as a clear favourite with quizmaster Pickbrain commenting that “If they play the same way they can be national champions”. Chatting with us after the quiz, Ms. Rashmi, the co-anchor appreciated the winners saying “They are very well prepared and look really sharp. What I also like is the way both gel as a team and trust each another to buzz without checking with the other”.
