Hasan Raza from Pakistan is the youngest player to play Test cricket, debuting at 14 years and 227 days against Zimbabwe in 1996. Sachin Tendulkar is often mistakenly believed to hold this record, but he was 16 years and 205 days old on debut.

In the iconic 2002 NatWest Trophy final at Lord's, Zaheer Khan hit the winning runs. India chased 326 to win, with Mohammad Kaif scoring 87* and Yuvraj Singh 69, but it was Zaheer who struck the boundary that sealed the famous victory.

In the 2015-16 Ranji Trophy final between Mumbai and Saurashtra, Manish Pandey took a spectacular catch to dismiss Abhishek Nayar. This catch was crucial in Mumbai's victory and was widely praised for its athleticism.

Shane Warne was sent home from the 2003 World Cup just before the tournament began after testing positive for a prohibited diuretic. This drug scandal led to his suspension and he missed Australia's victorious World Cup campaign.

India scored only one 300-plus total in the 2003 World Cup - 354/2 against Namibia in the group stage. This was Sachin Tendulkar's tournament where he scored 673 runs, but the team didn't frequently cross 300 despite strong batting performances.

BB is not a standard cricket term. LBW (Leg Before Wicket), LB (Leg Bye), and LGB (though less common, could be Long Leg Boundary or similar) have cricket context. However, the question has issues: LGB is questionable as a common term, and the question asks 'Which is not a cricket term' without clear cricket-specific alternatives. Nonetheless, BB is the least cricket-related option.
