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.
