Cricket History and Facts

Sachin Tendulkar is indeed the first and only player to score centuries against all Test-playing nations. This includes centuries against all 10 Test nations: Australia, England, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and (until they lost Test status) Ireland.

Sachin Tendulkar did indeed captain India in Tests, though the question phrasing is awkward ('capped India in Tests'). He served as captain for 25 Test matches between 1996-1997, though his captaincy tenure was limited and he later resigned from the role to focus on batting.

Sourav Ganguly scored 22 centuries in ODI cricket during his international career. This was a significant achievement, making him one of India's most successful ODI batsmen. His century tally was the highest by an Indian batsman at the time of his retirement.

VVS Laxman was not part of India's 15-member squad for the 2003 World Cup. The squad included players like Dinesh Mongia, Parthiv Patel, and Ajit Agarkar among others. Laxman was a prominent Test batsman but was not selected for the ODI World Cup squad that year.

In the IPL 2010 match between CSK and Kings XI Punjab that went to a super over, the three CSK batsmen were Albie Morkel, Suresh Raina, and Matthew Hayden. This was a memorable super over in IPL history.

In the famous IPL 2010 super over between CSK and KXIP, the three Kings XI Punjab batsmen were Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, and Irfan Pathan. This match was notable for being one of the first tied games in IPL history that went to a super over.

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.
