Cricket History and Tournaments

In the Hero Cup match at Gwalior on March 4, 1993, England suffered a dramatic collapse, losing their last 7 wickets for just 10 runs against India. This was a remarkable bowling performance by the Indian bowlers in the final overs. Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand were not involved in this specific match.

India achieved the unwanted record of being dismissed twice in one day of a Test match against England at Lord's in 1952. In the second Test, India was bowled out for 151 and then again for 0 in their second innings, both on the same day. England won by an innings and 0 runs remains one of the most one-sided results in Test history.

New Zealand's cricket team is nicknamed the 'Black Caps', derived from their all-black national team uniform colors similar to the All Blacks (rugby). This name has been official since the 1990s. Canada, Zimbabwe, and Namibia have different team nicknames and don't use this moniker.

Kapil Dev scored his famous 175 runs against Zimbabwe in the 1983 World Cup match at Tunbridge Wells, England. This was a crucial innings that helped India recover from a precarious position and eventually win the match. It remained the highest individual score by an Indian in ODIs for many years. England, New Zealand, and UAE were not the opponents in this match.

Kieron Pollard has played for multiple Big Bash League teams including Adelaide Strikers (South Australia) in 2011-12 and 2014-15. However, the question's present tense is misleading as he has moved between BBL teams and his longer stint was with Melbourne Stars (Victoria).

Matthew Hayden, the imposing Australian opener, was nicknamed 'Big Fish' along with other nicknames like 'Haydos' and 'Unit' - all referencing his large physical build and powerful presence at the crease. Hayden was known for his aggressive batting and was one of the most destructive openers in cricket history. 'Shark', 'Volcano', and 'Burger' are not recognized nicknames for Hayden.

The 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup was co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand, with the final played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. This was the second time Australia and New Zealand jointly hosted the tournament.

India played its first Test cricket match against England at Lord's in June 1932. CK Nayudu led the Indian team in this historic match. Option B is correct.

Virender Sehwag played his first One Day International match in 1999 against Pakistan. He made his debut on October 2, 1999, during the Pepsi Cup tournament. This marked the beginning of an illustrious ODI career where he became known as one of India's most aggressive opening batsmen.

India won the first Cricket World Cup in 1983, defeating the West Indies in the final at Lord's. Led by captain Kapil Dev, India's victory was considered one of the biggest upsets in cricket history. This win transformed cricket's popularity in India and established the team as a force in international cricket. Prudential Cup 1983 remains a landmark moment.

Sachin Tendulkar played for Yorkshire in 1992, becoming the first overseas player to represent the county. Yorkshire had a long tradition of only selecting England-qualified players, making Tendulkar's signing a historic moment in county cricket history.

In the 1979 Cricket World Cup, Sri Lanka and East Africa were the two non-Test playing nations that participated. Sri Lanka had not yet achieved Test status at that time (they gained it in 1982), and East Africa was a composite team representing Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia.
