Australia won the ICC T20 Women's World Cup 2010, defeating New Zealand in the final. This was part of Australia's dominant era in women's T20 cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar missed the 1999 World Cup match against Zimbabwe to attend his father's funeral. His father, Ramesh Tendulkar, passed away during the World Cup tournament, forcing Sachin to return to India briefly. This remains one of the most emotional moments in Sachin's career.

Cricket was played only once at the Olympics in 1900, where Great Britain won gold and France won the silver. The tournament featured primarily British expatriates representing different countries.

Cricket was played only once at the Olympics in 1900 (Paris). Great Britain (representing England) won gold, and France won silver. Australia did not participate, and India was not a cricketing nation at that time. The question has a grammar error - 'has been played' should be 'was played'.

India holds the world record for most ODI wins while chasing targets, having successfully chased over 170 targets in ODI cricket history. This reflects India's strong batting depth and ability to handle pressure in chase situations. Australia and South Africa are also strong chasing teams but have fewer successful chases than India.

Fiji was suspended from the Commonwealth due to the 2006 coup and did not participate in the 2010 Delhi Games. Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand, is not a member of the Commonwealth Games Federation and thus did not participate. Glasgow is a city (host of CWG 2014), not a nation, making options B and C incorrect.

Option C is correct. India won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1983 under Kapil Dev's captaincy, defeating the West Indies in the final at Lord's. This was a historic victory as India was considered underdogs.

Rahul Dravid scored his first Test century (164) against Pakistan at Lord's in 1996, during his second Test match. This was a significant innings that established him as a reliable batsman in the Indian lineup. Sri Lanka was the opponent for his debut Test, but his first century came against Pakistan.

India recorded their first Test victory against England in Chennai (then Madras) in 1952. This was a historic moment as India had lost their first 25 Test matches before finally winning. The victory came in their 26th Test match.
