Cricket History and Facts

Raman Lamba was an Indian cricketer who died in 1998 when he was hit on the head by a cricket ball while fielding. The ball caused a brain hemorrhage and he died three days later. This tragic accident occurred during a club match in Bangladesh.

This is outdated IPL (Indian Premier League) trivia. Without knowing the specific year referenced, I cannot verify if Robin Uthappa (B) actually hit the most sixes. The question says 'this year's IPL' but lacks temporal context. Options include Murali Vijay (A), Yusuf Pathan (C), and Shane Watson (D) - all capable six-hitters, but the correct answer depends entirely on which IPL season this question was written about.

This is outdated IPL trivia asking about hat-tricks (three wickets in three consecutive balls). The question lacks temporal context - 'this years IPL' without specifying which year.

Without the specific season reference, this cannot be verified and becomes outdated quickly as new seasons occur.
