In Cricket, if the umpire extends both hands horizontally it means ______.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. wide ball.
If the umpire extends both hands horizontally in Cricket, it indeed signifies a wide ball. A wide ball is a delivery that is bowled so far from the batsman that the umpire judges it to be out of the batsman's reach even if the batsman tries to play a shot.
When the umpire extends both hands horizontally after a delivery, it indicates to the scorers and everyone involved in the game that the ball has been deemed wide, and an extra run is awarded to the batting team.
