SportsKeeda Weekly Quiz 1 – Answers

Ans 1) Yograj Singh, father of Yuvraj Singh

Ans 2) Eoin Morgan – was run out for 99 in his ODI debut against Scotland.

Ans 3) The only players to be given out “obstructing the field” in international matches.

The only person to do so in a test match was Sir Len Hutton (vs South Africa in 1951).

SportsKeeda Weekly Quiz 2

Q1) Again, an easy one to start. See the photo below and identify this legendary athlete, as well as the event that is shown in the photograph.

Q2) “There are things that just don’t have any good explanation” he said. “I suppose you could say that if it had been a really nice animal, something sympathetic, then maybe nothing would have happened. Suppose I had picked a rooster. Well, that’s French, but it doesn’t have the same impact.” Identify the former tennis great who said this in a 1973 interview with The Associated Press.

Q3) This talented spinner made his test debut for India quite late in his career, and went on to feature in 33 tests and 15 ODIs. In fact he is one of just two test bowlers in the world to have made their debut after the age of 30 and yet to have 100 plus test wickets. He is currently the Managing Director of Entrack India, a firm that markets Montblanc pens in India. His son, currently active in the IPL, has played first class cricket for Saurashtra, Derbyshire and Surrey. Identify.

Q4) A visual again. What connects the 3 sportspersons shown in the photo?

Q5) A relatively simple question to round off this edition of the quiz.
