Cricket History and Facts

In Twenty-20 cricket, a bowler is allowed to bowl a maximum of 4 overs per innings, not 6. The other rules listed are standard or variations used in T20 leagues.

Here the top scorer of the innings is the subject (i.e. doer of the verb). So, pronoun 'who' should be used.

Here, the sample space is 60. A player hits sixes 12 times out of 60 balls. This means that he/she does not hit any six in 60 – 12 = 48 balls. Hence, the probability that a player does not hit any six will be 48/60.

Sachin Tendulkar was voted the best Test player of the 21st century in a poll conducted by Cricket Australia in 2015.

Googly, Longleg, and Hook are standard cricket terms. Smash is a term primarily associated with sports like tennis, badminton, or volleyball, not cricket.

Rahul Dravid was the captain of the Indian cricket team during the 2007 World Cup. Since he is not listed in the options, 'None of these' is the correct answer.

Mohammad Yousuf (not Md. Usuf) scored 1788 runs in 2006, setting the world record for most runs in a calendar year. He also scored 9 Test centuries that year. Sachin Tendulkar, Shane Warne, and Ricky Ponting did not achieve this record in 2006.

Delhi is at UTC+5:30 and London is at UTC+0 (or UTC+1 during daylight savings). The time difference is 5 hours and 30 minutes. Subtracting 5 hours and 30 minutes from 10 a.m. results in 4:30 a.m.

Punjab won the 62nd Santosh Trophy in 2008 by defeating Services in the final.

Sachin Tendulkar was the first batsman in the history of cricket to cross the 16,000-run mark in One Day Internationals (ODIs).

Let his original average of 17 innings = x So, the some of his runs of 17 innings = 17x Now his new average = x + 2 So, the new sum of his runs of 18 innings = 18(x + 2) Therefore difference of his 17 and 18 innings = 95 So, 18(x + 2) - 17x = 95 x = 59 So, his original average is 59 and his average after 18th innings = 59 + 2 => 61 Therefore, 61 is correct answer.
