Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: 28

Sachin had hit two sixes of Mushtaq Ahmed, the leg spinner. So the mentor of Mushataq Ahmed, Abdul Qadir challenged Sachin saying "Why are you hitting kids? Try and hit me". Sachin replied to the challenge by hitting 4 sixes and a four in Qadir's next over. The over read as 6, 0, 4, 6, 6 and 6.

2. Sachin, for the first time, opened the batting for India in 1994 against New Zealand. How many runs did he score in that match?

Answer: 82

It was 27th March 1994. India's regular opener Navjot Sidhu was injured, so Sachin was asked to open the innings. He scored 82, taking India to a comfortable victory.

3. The year was 1999, Pakistan's tour of India. The first test of the series was played in Chennai. Pakistan won the match by 12 runs. How many runs did Sachin score in the second innings?

Answer: 136

In the second innings of the match, Sachin played the innings of his life. He scored 136 runs off 273 balls with 18 fours. The thing to note is, he was suffering from a severe back injury during this match, and he played this innings with a bag of ice cubes on his back; such was the severity of the injury.

When Sachin was dismissed India needed 16 runs to win with 3 wickets remaining. But India lost this match as the remaining 3 wickets fell for just 4 runs. Sachin considers this match as one of the saddest moments of his cricketing career, as he could not take the team to victory, in spite of being close to victory.

4. In 1992, Sachin scored 148 against Australia in Sydney. This match also marked the debut of one of the greatest players in the game. Who was that player?

Answer: Shane Warne

It was the third test of the series, in which Sachin scored an unbeaten 148.
But this match ended in a draw. Sachin followed this century with a 114 in Perth; unfotunately India lost that match by 300 runs.

Answer: 3

As mentioned, South Africa required 6 runs from the final. Mohammed Azharuddin, the captain of the Indian team, would have thought of handing the ball to either Javagal Srinath or Anil Kumble, the top bowlers. But Sachin snatched the ball from Azharuddin and guided India to a memorable win.

In the final of the Hero Cup, India defeated the West Indies with the help of Anil Kumble's match winning performance of 6 for 12.

6. Sachin Tendulkar scored 134 against the Australians in the final of the Coca-Cola Cup held at Sharjah in 1998. What was so special about that innings?

Answer: That day was his birthday.

The match was played on April 24 which is Sachin's birthday.

7. It was November 1992. The match was South Africa vs. India. Sachin Tendulkar was run out by Johnty Rhodes for 11. This was a interesting moment in the cricketing history. Why?

Answer: First time the third umpire was called to make the decision.

In 1992, third umpires were introduced in cricket, to aid the on field umpires in making the right decision and Sachin was the first person to be given out by the third umpire, as the run out call was referred to the third umpire.

8. At the age of 15, he was involved in an unbroken partnership in the Harris Shield tournament with his friend Vinod Kambli. How many runs did they put together?

Answer: 664

Tendulkar and Kambli both belong to the Shardashram Vidyamandir School. In the Harris shield tournament, an inter-school competition, Sachin and Kambli had a mammoth partnership of 664 against the St. Xavier's school. Sachin was unbeaten on 326 and Kambli was on 349 not out.

9. Sachin made his test debut against Pakistan in 1989. Another three players also made their test debut in that match. One from India and two from Pakistan. Who were they?

Answer: Waqar Younis, Shahid Saeed and Salil Ankola

It was the test between India and Pakistan in Karachi in 1989. Sachin and Salil Ankola made their debut for India. Waqar Younis and Shahid Saeed made their debut for Pakistan. Sachin scored 15 runs in the first innings and he bowled by Waqar Younis. In the second innings Sachin did not bat.

10. Which legendary cricketer said Sachin Tendulkar plays like him?
