Spot fixing ? 

 

I mean Pakistan and Sharjah in one sentence can only mean one thing..

@Jimmy Cliff on a roll 

 

Last for the day, I hope it tests you

 

My first test match was the last test of the one of the most famous personalities of cricket. I am part of a select list of batsman and also hold a world cup batting record for my country. In my last ODI match I completed a rare double feat, so far achieved by only 4 other cricketers. I have played IPL for two different teams. Who am I?

Rohit's first was Sachin's last.. 

Most no.of 100s in a single WC... 

His last ODI was against Australia where he scored his 29th century going past Jayasuriya... Only Tendulkar, Kohli, Ponting are above him...

Played for Deccan Chargers and SRH...

No one answered this, before this series BCCI officialy declined the invitation in wake of Govt decision to not play matches in Sharjah due to match fixing allegations

[SK_IH]

@MultiB48 Good question, I think @Jimmy Cliff has answered it right.

 

Answer this one guys :

My last ODI match was a world cup game against the same country against whom I achieved my finest moment in world cup cricket. I have played 5 World cups in all and also captained in one of them unsuccessfully. Who am I?
