Cricket History and Facts

In cricket terminology, a "duck" means when a batsman is dismissed without scoring any runs (zero). Being "duck out" specifically refers to getting out without scoring. This is different from other types of dismissal where the batsman may have scored runs.

Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary Indian opener, is nicknamed 'Little Master' for his compact technique and ability to score consistently against fast bowling. He was the first to reach 10,000 runs in Test cricket and set many batting records.

 Lala Amarnath was the first Indian to score a century in Test cricket.

Clive Lloyd captained the dominant West Indies team to consecutive World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, establishing their era of cricket supremacy. Viv Richards was a key player under Lloyd's leadership, not the captain.

Chris Gayle was Man of the Series in ICC Champions Trophy 2006 for his dominant batting performances. This was during West Indies' successful campaign.

Ata ur Rehman is the correct answer. The ICC did lift the lifetime ban imposed on him, related to a ball-tampering scandal from the 1990s. This is about the Pakistani bowler whose ban was eventually overturned.

Rahul Dravid earned the nickname 'The Wall' for his exceptionally solid defensive batting technique and ability to play long innings. He was known for his concentration, patience, and ability to anchor the Indian batting lineup. His technique was so reliable that he became extremely difficult to dismiss, resembling a solid wall that bowlers couldn't break through. Dravid scored over 13,000 runs in Test cricket and was part of many famous Indian victories.

Option (3) is correct. 

 Dicey means risky and is the correct answer.

Virender Sehwag earned the title 'Sultan of Multan' after his triple century (309 runs) in a Test match against Pakistan at Multan in 2004. Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Inzamam-ul-Haq are all legendary cricketers but none have this specific nickname associated with Multan.

Correct option is (4).

Sunil Gavaskar was the first Indian batsman to reach 10,000 Test runs, achieving this milestone in 1986. Sachin Tendulkar (misspelled as Tandulkar) later surpassed this record. Rahul Dravid also reached 10,000 runs.

Lala Amarnath scored the first Test century by an Indian batsman in 1933 against England at Bombay. Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid were later greats, and Lala Amarnath's name is misspelled with lowercase 'l'.
