"THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT THESE CRICKETERS."




1. Sachin Tendulkar played for Pakistan before India


Can you imagine Sachin Tendulkar playing for Pakistan before India? This happened during a practice match between India and Pakistan at the Brabourne Stadium in 1987 where Tendulkar came on the field as a substitute fielder for Pakistan.


2. Shahid Afridi used Sachin Tendulkar's bat to hit the fastest ever ODI century.



Shahid Afridi was flown in to play for the Pakistan team from West Indies to Nairobi in 1996 and didn't have a proper bat. That's when Waqar Younis gave 'Young Afridi' Sachin Tendulkar’s bat. Afridi hit 11 sixes and six boundaries with the bat and scored a 37-ball century against Sri Lanka which was the then fastest ODI century. The record, broken later by Corey Anderson (36 balls), now belongs to South Africa's AB de Villiers (31 balls). 


3. Chris Gayle is the only batsman to hit a six off the first ball of a Test match.



In the 137 years of Test cricket no cricketer has ever hit a six off the first ball of a Test match. Audacious Chris Gayle achieved this feat against Bangladesh in 2012 off debutant Sohag Gazi.


4. Alec Stewart was born on 8-4-63 and he scored 8463 Test runs.




5. Allan Border played 153 consecutive Test matches





6. The only cricketer to play Test cricket for India and England is Saif Ali Khan’s grandfather, Iftikhar Ali Khan Pataudi.





7. There are only two players, Jim Laker and Anil Kumble who took 10 wickets in an innings.

India's  Anil kumble took 10/74 against Pakistan at Delhi in 1999.
