The correct answer is Option (2) - Cricket The term "Follow-On" is used in the game of Cricket. In cricket, the follow-on is a situation where the team that batted first in a Test match scores a significantly higher total than the opposing team, leading by a predefined margin. In such cases, the team that batted second may be asked to bat again immediately (without having to bat again if they don't want to) instead of forcing the other team to bat again. This decision is at the discretion of the team captain, and it aims to enforce a potential follow-on against the opposing team, thereby giving the team that batted first a strategic advantage in the match. |
