Brian Lara scored the first century of the 2003 World Cup, making 116 runs against Kenya in South Africa's opening match. The question has typos: 'Ist' should be '1st', and 'Jacque kallis' should be 'Jacques Kallis'. While Lara did score a century, calling it the 'Ist hundred' is misleading as several other centuries were scored in that tournament.

India won their first match of the 2003 World Cup, defeating Holland by 68 runs. They did not lose their opening match. The question has a typo: 'Ist' should be '1st'.

Ashish Nehra recorded India's best bowling figures in the 2003 World Cup, taking 6/23 against England in a crucial group match. His spell helped restrict England to a modest total and set up India's victory. The question has a typo: 'Ist' should be '1st'.

The answer is False because this is NOT out. In cricket, if the ball pitches outside the leg stump and hits any part of the batsman's body, it cannot be given out LBW, even if the ball would go on to hit the stumps. The leg-before-wicket law specifically excludes such deliveries.

The answer is False. Free Hit only applies to No Balls caused by overstepping the crease or unfair field placement, not for No Balls given due to excessive height. A height-related No Ball does not entitle the batsman to a Free Hit on the next delivery.

Yuvraj Singh (2007 T20 World Cup) and Herschelle Gibbs (2007 ODI World Cup) have both famously hit six sixes in an over. Shahid Afridi and Virender Sehwag, despite being aggressive hitters, never achieved this specific feat in international cricket.
