Directions (1-5): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Sachin Tendulkar, if he is given to such fancies, might have felt a sense of déjà vu over the past year-a sense of experiencing his glittering career in miniature. Hardly had the Little Master enjoyed his most prolific year (2010) in Test cricket and savoured the heady success of a World Cup win when the familiar constricting pressure reappeared. The national obsession with him hadn't dimmed; it had merely been distributed among the members of a resurgent Team India. But with expectations of a 100th international hundred raised to fever pitch, and India's standards - and his own, to a lesser extent - sliding, the 38-year-old genius from Mumbai will have been reminded of the time every innings of his affected the country's mood. Typically, Tendulkar has handled the period of 12 months and 33 innings with dignity. He has said little; but he has always maintained that he plays not for records but because he loves the game. Yet it's his numbers that help put his greatness in perspective. So while a 100th hundred is no more or less significant than a 101st or 99th - indeed, it's an artificial landmark as some critics have suggested - the roundness of the figure allows us to stand back and comprehend its staggering enormity.
Longevity is the gold standard of greatness. Over the course of a long career - particularly one such as Tendulkar's, which has spanned cricket eras - every facet is subjected to the strictest scrutiny. It takes a singular individual to survive change: in his 23 years in international cricket, the great man has seen the game evolve both subtly and significantly. But it takes no less than a defining figure to dictate the course of change. As a constant presence, but not an unchanging one, Tendulkar has been a major part of the evolution, his batsmanship and the bowlers' reaction to it altering cricket. He laid down the template for greatness across formats, art customised to canvas. Cricket hasn't seen a better Test and One-Day International batsman. Sir Vivian Richards was a dominant master of both formats - and he's Tendulkar's only competitor for the honour - but the Indian has done it for longer and with greater consistency than the illustrious West Indian. Tendulkar himself will debate the point, for he holds Richards in the highest esteem.
Q-6 For how many years, has Tendulkar been playing international cricket?
01. 38 years
02. 23 years
03. 12 months
04. 33 years
05. None of these
Q-7 Why has Sir Vivian Richards been called a competitor of Tendulkar?
01. His looks are similar to that of Tendulkar
02. His contribution to the game of cricket has been more than that of Tendulkar
03. He is as famous as is Tendulkar
04. He has played both one-day international and test cricket as efficiently as has Tendulkar
05. All of these
Q-8 What is meant by déjà vu, according to the passage?
01. His role in the Indian cricket team
02. His memorable winning of world cup
03. Remembering his entire cricket career
04. His struggle to perform well in every match
05. None of these
Q-9 Which of the following is True according to the passage?
01. Tendulkar has always been against evolution of cricket
02. Tendulkar is known for his love for cricket
03. Tendulkar has never given respect to Sir Vivian Richards
04. Tendulkar has played only one day international matches
05. Tendulkar has played most of his matches against Indian team
