Which of the following is NOT a way in which a batsman can get out in a game of cricket ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) - Leg bye
Leg bye is a way for the batting team to score runs, not a dismissal. It occurs when the ball deflects off the batsman's body (excluding the hand holding the bat) and runs are taken without the batsman hitting the ball with the bat.
Bowled: The batsman is out bowled if the bowler's delivery hits the wickets and dislodges the bails.
Stumped: The batsman is out stumped if the wicket-keeper removes the bails with the wicket while the batsman is out of his crease and not attempting a run.
Leg Before Wicket (LBW): The batsman is out LBW if the umpire decides the ball would have hit the wicket if it hadn't struck the batsman's pad (leg) in front of the wickets.
