Question

[A] Irfan Pathan
[B] Sourav Ganguly
[C] Sahin Tendulakar
[D] Brett Lee

Answer 1

Sachin Tendulkar
Australian great Dennis told about his first meeting with Sachin Tendulkar and said on a lighter note that he did the game a "favour" by rejecting the batsman when he went to the MRF Pace Foundation with an ambition to become a fast bowler in the late 80s.

Hoping to become a pacer, Tendulkar went to the MRF Pace Foundation in 1987. But his ambitions were crushed by the foundation`s coaching director, Lillee who advised the then young Tendulkar to focus on his batting instead of bowling.
