International vs England in 2011, X got
Pietersen stumped off a wide, which
was his first delivery in a T20
International. So, basically, he got a

delivery in a T20. Who is this X?

7. VIRAT KOHLI

8. 4.
X was considered as one of the most talented
swimmers in his time and at the 1988 Olympics
was expected to break the record set by
Mark Spitz but then was involved in perhaps
one of the oddest defeats of any competitor
at the Olympics. In the 100 meter butterfly
final race, he was caught between strokes as
he approached the finishing wall. He chose to
glide rather than take another stroke, and X
was edged out by Anthony Nesty of Surinam
by just 0.01 second. Id X.

9. Matt Biondi

10. 5.
The first instance of a bowler taking
four wickets in four balls in a first-
class cricket match had a strong
literary connection to it. Joseph
Wells (father of HG Wells) was the
first bowler who did it. He dismissed
Sussex's James Dean, Spencer
Leigh, Charles Ellis and
Richard Fillery with successive balls.
Spencer Leigh however was the
great-nephew of
another englishNovelist. Whose
nephew?

11. Jane Austen

12. 6.
The Successful penalty of X was the
only thing that prevented Y from a
feat achieved by Y’s city rivals only a
year ago. Years later, an
unsuccessful penalty of X would deny
Y a win at a tournament, which they
would eventually end up winning a
few years later in similar
circumstances. X and Y?


13. X- Anelka
Y- Chelsea
Anelka scored a penalty for Man City in 2004-05 vs
Chelsea in a 1-0 win which was Chelsea’s only loss
that season. This prevented them from going the
entire season unbeaten

14. 7.
During his playing days, the player

year(1988)

huge amount of concussions and
brain diseases the players have
suffered from. Finally the players

years. Id x.

22. Beach Volleyball

born on Feb 29. However, at the
end of last year he was in the news
for a completely different reason
altogether. Who is X?

24. Sean Abbott

25. 12.
 A former World Number 1 tennis player,
X first came to attention when he
became the first ever player to achieve
the "Junior Grand Slam" in the open era.
X’s playing style was the use of the now
redundant one-handed backhand. He
won multiple titles at every Grand Slam,
except for the French Open where his
best performance was a final
appearance where he lost in 5 sets after
being 2 sets to 1 up. Oh, and yes, X
accidently caused the death of
linesman Dick Wertheim with an errant
serve during the US Open. Enough hints
now. ID X

 According to Bild, the five point-plan is as follows: 1) X
will never be allowed to sing fan chants through their
megaphone; 2) He will never be allowed to kneel in
front of the team and sing the 'Humba' song; 3) He will
never be allowed to go near the Sudtribune, where
the ultras stand; 4) He will never be allowed to throw
his shirt into the crowd; 5) He will never be allowed to
kiss the badge on his shirt.
X's crime? Well not only is he a self-confessed fan of
arch-rivals of the club he plays for, but several years
ago he also had the audacity to mock a legend of his
current club by 'mimicking' his celebration. Who is this
X.?

30. Manuel Neuer

31. 15.
Twice it has happened that a
bowler has taken a 5 wicket haul
