  • Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar to host Discovery School Super League

    By A Correspondent

     

    Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar have united after four years to host the school quiz show, Discovery School Super League (DSSL) powered by Byju’s. The on-air six-episode phase of DSSL premieres April 28 on Discovery Channel, Discovery HD World, Discovery Science, and Discovery Kids. The quiz will feature teams from 29 states and 1 Union Territory (Delhi).

     

    Speaking on the occasion, Mathur said: “I’m a complete quiz head and love being part of shows which unearth the true hidden knowledge potential of children of India. The role of a quizmaster is not as simple as it may seem – one needs to make the children comfortable and uninimidated so that they are unfazed with the occasion and can remember their facts as and when the time arises… and yet keep the energy of the game high. I am excited to be part of DSSL because the process of identifying team of each state has been very exhaustive.”

     

    Added Sahukar: “The scale of DSSL is amazing. The fact that the on-ground phase touched more than 43 lakh children, and only 60 made it to the TV round tells you a deeper story that the standard of quiz would be very high; the competition intense. I am excited to be amongst such talented bunch.”
