Q: Raj Singh Dungarpur is credited for the selection of Tendulkar for the Indian tour of Pakistan national cricket team in late 1989, after one first class season. The Indian selection committee had shown interest in selecting Tendulkar for the Indian cricket team in West Indies in 1988–89 held earlier that year, but eventually did not select him, as they did not want him to be exposed to the dominant fast bowlers of the West Indies so early in his career. Tendulkar made his Test cricket debut against Pakistan in Indian cricket team in Pakistan in 1989–90 aged 16 years and 205 days. He made 15 runs, being bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match, but was noted for how he handled numerous blows to his body at the hands of the Pakistani pace attack. In the fourth and final Test in Sialkot, he was hit on the nose by a bouncer bowled by Younis, but he declined medical assistance and continued to bat even as he gushed blood from it. In a 20-over exhibition game in Peshawar, held in parallel with the bilateral series, Tendulkar made 53 runs off 18 balls, including an over in which he scored 27 runs (6, 4, 0, 6, 6, 6) off leg-spinner Abdul Qadir (cricketer). This was later called "one of the best innings I have seen" by the then Indian captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth. In all, he scored 215 runs at an average of 35.83 in the Test series, and was dismissed without scoring a run in the only One Day International (ODI) he played. Thus Sachin Tendulkar became the youngest player to debut for India in Test cricket at the age of 16 years and 205 days and also the youngest player to debut for India in One Day International at the age of 16 years and 238 days.

Q: The rivalry between the Avalanche and the Red Wings was most intense from 1996 to 2002. During those seven seasons the two teams played five postseason series against each other in the Stanley Cup playoffs, with the Avalanche winning three of the series (1995-96, 4-2; 1998-99, 4-2; 1999-2000, 4-1) and the Red Wings winning two of them (1996-97, 4-2; 2001-02, 4-3).
