B
Correct answer
Explanation
Sachin Tendulkar scored 200* runs off 147 balls against South Africa in 2010, cricket's first ODI double century. The options 142, 146, and 148 are close but incorrect.
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Sachin Tendulkar hit 26 fours (not 25) during his 200* innings vs South Africa in 2010. This was an ODI record for most fours in an innings at the time. While the number '25' is slightly off, the claim about maximum fours is essentially correct.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The question references 'this record' without specifying which record is meant. While 442 matches might be correct for some statistic (possibly total ODIs played by Sachin), without context the question is ambiguous and cannot be properly verified.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
India's 401/3 against Bermuda was indeed among ODI cricket's highest totals at the time it was scored. By 2011, with multiple teams scoring above 400, this total would no longer rank as the 7th highest, making the False claim reasonable.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Sachin Tendulkar scored 5 ODI centuries against Pakistan in his career. This reflects his consistent performance against India's arch-rivals across different venues and conditions.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Sachin Tendulkar scored his historic double century (200*) in 147 balls against South Africa at Gwalior in 2010. This was the first-ever double century in ODI cricket history.
