MS Dhoni captained the Indian cricket team to victory in the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 in 2007 held in South Africa. India defeated Pakistan in the final, marking Dhoni's first major international trophy as captain.

Ganguly did not hit the fastest century in ODI cricket. The fastest ODI century records are held by AB de Villiers (31 balls) and Corey Anderson (36 balls). Ganguly's fastest century was much slower.

Sunil Gavaskar famously touched Sachin Tendulkar's feet during a ceremony and called him the 'god of cricket', acknowledging Tendulkar's legendary status and achievements surpassing previous greats.

The statement reflects the competitive spirit in cricket. Dismissing Sachin Tendulkar, widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen, was considered a prized achievement for bowlers worldwide.

Sachin Tendulkar's highest Test score is 248*, made against Bangladesh in 2004. This innings at Dhaka showcased his ability to play long innings.

None of the listed captains (Gavaskar, Bedi, Kumble) ever batted at No. 11 in Tests. Indian captains typically bat in the top 6. The question is specifically asking about captains who came in as the last batsman, which is extremely rare for captains. This makes 'None of these' the correct answer as no Indian captain has batted at No. 11 in Test cricket history.

Sunil Gavaskar holds this unusual record for facing 150+ balls and scoring under 50 runs in ODIs, having scored 36 off 165 balls against England in the 1975 World Cup. This was during an era when batting strike rates were much slower. Miandad, Flower, and Attapattu had higher scoring rates or didn't face as many balls in such low-scoring innings.
