Sachin Tendulkar made his Test debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16. This debut series in Karachi is historically significant as he faced the legendary Pakistani bowling attack. Option A is wrong because it was Pakistan, not Australia. Options B and C are wrong because they state 1990 instead of 1989.

Sachin Tendulkar played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1992. This was a significant stint where he became the first overseas player to represent Yorkshire. He did not play for Lancashire, Sussex, or Nottinghamshire during his county career.

Sachin Tendulkar scored his first ODI century in his 79th match against Australia in 1994 at Colombo. This long wait for a century is often noted in cricket discussions. The options 15, 25, and 56 are all too low for when he actually reached this milestone.

In cricket, a ball that bounces more than twice before reaching the batsman's popping crease is called a no ball. This rule prevents unfair delivery that makes batting impossible. Bouncing once or twice is still legal.

Cricket uses three standard ball colors: White for day-night ODIs and T20s, Red for Test cricket, and Pink for day-night Test matches. Green is not a regulated ball color in any international cricket format.

One Day International cricket originally had 60 overs per side when introduced in the 1970s. The format was later shortened to 50 overs per side to make matches more TV-friendly and completed in a single day. The 60-over format was used in the first three World Cups (1975, 1979, 1983).

In ODI cricket, the mandatory ball change occurs after 34 overs (from both ends). This rule ensures consistent ball condition and visibility. The first ball change is at the end of the 34th over, giving each team two new balls in their 50-over innings.

According to ICC Test match playing conditions, a minimum of 90 overs must be bowled in a day's play (excluding time lost for intervals and weather). This ensures reasonable match progress and prevents slow over-rates. Umpires can extend time to meet this quota.
