Since Sachin is always chosen , now we need to choose only 10 players from the 14 players.That can be done in 14 C 10 ways = 14.13.12.11/ (4.3.2.1) = 1001 ways

11 players can have a batting order in 11! ways

Thus the total number of batting orders possible are 1001. 11!

I think the answer should be option (a). Please check the options you have posted.
