Murali Vijay, the Indian opening batsman, played for Chennai Super Kings in IPL-4. He was a regular opener for CSK and formed a successful opening partnership. Note: The correct spelling is 'Chennai Super Kings' (not 'Superkings').

Albie Morkel, the South African all-rounder, was part of Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2011 (Season 4). He played for CSK from 2008-2013 and was known for his hard-hitting batting and useful medium pace bowling.

Suresh Raina became the first player to score centuries in all three international formats (Test, ODI, T20). He has been a loyal Chennai Super Kings player since the inaugural IPL in 2008 and was with them in IPL 2011.

Daniel Vettori, the former New Zealand captain, played for Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2011 (Season 4). He was RCB's captain that year and brought his left-arm spin bowling and vast experience to the team.

Adam Gilchrist, the legendary Australian wicket-keeper batsman, led Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2011 (Season 4). He was their captain and one of the key players, though he retired from all cricket during that season.

All four players have scored triple centuries in Test Cricket. Sir Don Bradman scored 2 (including the famous 334), Virender Sehwag scored 2 (319 and 309), Brian Lara holds the highest individual score of 400*, and Chris Gayle scored 319. Therefore 'All of the above' is the correct answer. This is a factual question about a rare batting milestone.

Waqar Younis holds the record for the most 5-wicket hauls in ODIs with 13 such performances. Muttiah Muralitharan and Glenn McGrath were great bowlers but didn't achieve as many 5-wicket hauls in ODIs. Wasim Akram, while legendary, focused more on new bowl swing and left-arm pace rather than consistently taking 5-wicket hauls.

Muttiah Muralitharan played for Kochi Tuskers in IPL 2011 (season 4). This was the debut season for the Kochi franchise. Royal Challengers Bangalore, Deccan Chargers, and Mumbai Indians were not his team.
