Sachin Tendulkar is indeed the first and only player to score centuries against all Test-playing nations. This includes centuries against all 10 Test nations: Australia, England, South Africa, West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and (until they lost Test status) Ireland.

Sachin Tendulkar did indeed captain India in Tests, though the question phrasing is awkward ('capped India in Tests'). He served as captain for 25 Test matches between 1996-1997, though his captaincy tenure was limited and he later resigned from the role to focus on batting.

Sourav Ganguly scored 22 centuries in ODI cricket during his international career. This was a significant achievement, making him one of India's most successful ODI batsmen. His century tally was the highest by an Indian batsman at the time of his retirement.

In the famous IPL 2010 super over between CSK and KXIP, the three Kings XI Punjab batsmen were Yuvraj Singh, Mahela Jayawardene, and Irfan Pathan. This match was notable for being one of the first tied games in IPL history that went to a super over.

In the IPL 2010 super over between CSK and Kings XI Punjab, CSK scored 9 runs. CSK ultimately won this match as they restricted KXIP to fewer runs in the super over, making it a historic moment in IPL.

Rahul Dravid is the correct answer - he holds the record for most consecutive innings after debut before being dismissed for a duck (a score of zero). Dravid's technical proficiency and patient batting style meant he avoided scoring zero for an exceptionally long period at the start of his international career.

This question refers to a specific IPL super over between CSK (Chennai Super Kings) and KXIP (Kings XI Punjab). Without knowing which specific match and super over this refers to, the exact number cannot be verified. Super overs typically involve minimal deliveries, so 3 total boundaries combined is plausible.
