Indian Cricket Records and Statistics

In the 2nd T20 match of the series against New Zealand in 2009, Yusuf Pathan was dismissed after scoring 35 runs off just 22 balls. He had hit 4 sixes in his innings before getting out, making this the correct answer.

The first ICC Knock Out Trophy, commonly known as the 'Mini World Cup', was held in Bangladesh in 1998. This tournament featured the top eight cricketing nations competing in a knockout format at Dhaka.

New Zealand was dismissed for 42 runs against Australia at Auckland in March 1955, the lowest completed innings total in Test cricket history. The Australian bowler Lindwall took 6 for 20 to destroy the New Zealand batting lineup.

Pankaj Roy (173) and Vinoo Mankad (184) established the Indian record for the highest opening partnership in Test cricket with their 413-run stand against New Zealand at Chennai (then Madras) in 1956. This record has stood for nearly seven decades.

Saurav Ganguly scored 131 runs on his Test debut against England at Lord's in 1996, one of the finest debut performances by an Indian batsman. Scoring a century on debut at the 'Home of Cricket' established Ganguly as a future star of Indian cricket.

Anil Kumble holds the record for most Test wickets for India with 619 wickets, significantly ahead of Kapil Dev (434 wickets). This is a straightforward statistical fact about India's highest wicket-taker in Test cricket history.

Bishan Singh Bedi has one of the best bowling averages for India in Test cricket at approximately 28.00. The question asks about bowling average specifically, not total wickets or strike rate.

Rahul Dravid holds the record for most catches by an Indian fielder in Test matches (210 catches as a pure fielder, not wicketkeeper). Dravid was known as one of the best slip fielders in cricket history.

MS Dhoni holds the record for most dismissals by an Indian wicketkeeper in a single Test match (6 dismissals vs England at Leeds, 2007). He also holds the ODI record of 6 dismissals in an innings.

India's highest ODI total was 418/5 scored against Bermuda in the 2007 World Cup (19 overs match). This was during the group stage. However, in full 50-over matches, India's highest is 414/7 vs Australia (2013) or potentially Sri Lanka. The question likely refers to the Bermuda match given the options.

India's lowest ODI total is 54 all out against Australia at Perth in 1991 (Maiden Test winner, actually WACA ground). This was during the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup. India was bundled out for just 54 runs.

Sachin Tendulkar holds the world record for most Man of the Match awards (62 awards in ODIs). This is a well-documented record that stood for many years. The question specifically asks for the World Record holder.

Sourav Ganguly holds the world record for most consecutive Man of the Match awards (4 consecutive awards in 1998). This is an ODI record. The question asks specifically about consecutive awards.

Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid hold the world record for highest 2nd wicket partnership in ODIs (331 runs vs New Zealand at Hyderabad in 1999). The question specifically asks about 2nd wicket partnership.

MS Dhoni holds the record for most dismissals by an Indian wicket-keeper across all international formats combined. While Wriddhiman Saha has more Test dismissals, Dhoni's combined tally in Tests, ODIs, and T20Is makes him the overall leader. The question wording 'has keep d record' is informal but Dhoni is the correct answer.
