Mahindra Racing's Kush Maini takes cricket quiz, reveals his IPL team allegiance
Kush Maini (Image credit: Instagram) Mahindra Racing's Indian Formula 2 champion Kush Maini is not just an impressive presence on the track but also well-versed in his country's favourite sport — cricket. The racer from Bengaluru recently took a cricket quiz and nearly scored a perfect 10/10, answering almost every question with precision. He is the only Indian to have won a Formula 2 race in Monaco and recently delivered an impressive performance at the Berlin Rookie Test, finishing among the top three in both sessions. Kush Maini is a pro when it comes to cricket knowledge A video of Kush Maini's cricket quiz shows him getting momentarily confused with the first question, though he gave the correct answer initially. When asked about the number of players in a cricket team, he initially said 'eleven' but changed it to 'twelve' after counting the number of openers and following players. After that brief hiccup, Maini breezed through the quiz like a pro. He correctly answered questions about the criteria for a four and a six, and explained terms like LBW, duck, and clean bowled. He also knew the number of overs bowled in T20, One-Day, and Test matches. When asked which team Virat Kohli represents in the IPL, Maini confidently replied, 'RCB… that's me, can't get that wrong.' He also tackled a question about the British singer who joked about not understanding cricket despite coming from the country that invented it. Maini answered 'Ed Sheeran' — and was pleasantly surprised to learn he was right. He also knew that David Beckham was the English footballer who once played a friendly match with Sachin Tendulkar. Watch Kush Maini's candid video here . Who is Kush Maini? Kush Maini moved to England at the age of 13–14 to pursue racing. Originally from Bengaluru, he now spends more time abroad than in India. He became the first Indian to win the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix in Formula 2 earlier this year. He recently showcased his racing talent during the Berlin Rookie Test, representing Mahindra Racing. He finished second in the morning session and third in the afternoon. Speaking after the test, he said, 'In the morning, we focused on 350kW runs, and in the afternoon, more on race runs. Whatever the run, we were always in the top three and really fast, so a good step was made. Whenever I get into this car, I leave with a smile on my face.
