Cricket History and Facts

In the IPL 2010 super over between CSK and Kings XI Punjab, CSK scored 9 runs. CSK ultimately won this match as they restricted KXIP to fewer runs in the super over, making it a historic moment in IPL.

Rahul Dravid is the correct answer - he holds the record for most consecutive innings after debut before being dismissed for a duck (a score of zero). Dravid's technical proficiency and patient batting style meant he avoided scoring zero for an exceptionally long period at the start of his international career.

This question refers to a specific IPL super over between CSK (Chennai Super Kings) and KXIP (Kings XI Punjab). Without knowing which specific match and super over this refers to, the exact number cannot be verified. Super overs typically involve minimal deliveries, so 3 total boundaries combined is plausible.

Rahul Dravid holds this record - he was involved in two 300+ run partnerships in ODI cricket. Dravid, known as 'The Wall,' was instrumental in massive partnerships, most notably his 331-run partnership with Sourav Ganguly (183* and 158*) against Sri Lanka in 1999, and another 300+ stand with Sachin Tendulkar.

Rahul Dravid holds this prestigious record - he scored Test centuries away from home against every Test-playing nation (Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe). This demonstrates his exceptional ability to perform in foreign conditions across all cricketing nations.

Sachin Tendulkar was born on April 24, 1973. This is a well-documented biographical fact. The other options (1970, 1972, 1974) are incorrect. Option B (24 April 1973) is the correct answer as marked.

In the legendary 664-run partnership for Shardashram School in 1988, Sachin Tendulkar scored 326 runs while Vinod Kambli made 338. This remains a record in school cricket. Option B is Kambli's score, not Sachin's.

Sachin Tendulkar made his Ranji Trophy debut for Bombay against Gujarat in the 1988-89 season. This was his first-class cricket debut at the domestic level in India.

According to the Laws of Cricket, there are 10 standard modes of dismissal (bowled, caught, lbw, run out, stumped, hit wicket, hit the ball twice, obstructing the field, handled the ball, timed out). However, 'retired out' is sometimes counted as an 11th way in certain contexts, making 11 the accepted answer in this question.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) is the custodian of the Laws of Cricket and has been responsible for maintaining and updating the rules since 1788. MCC is based at Lord's Cricket Ground in London and is cricket's governing body for the laws.
