Bails are used in which of the following games/sports?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Cricket.
In cricket, bails are a key part of the stumps, which form the wicket. The wicket consists of three vertical stumps, with two horizontal bails placed on top of them. The bails play a crucial role in determining whether a batsman is "bowled out" or "stumped."
When a bowler delivers the ball, and it hits the stumps, the bails are dislodged if the ball hits the stumps directly or after striking the batsman's bat or body. This action is a sign that the batsman is out. Similarly, in a stumping scenario, if the wicketkeeper removes the bails while the batsman is out of his crease, it results in the batsman's dismissal.
