In which of the following sports is the term ‘Leg bye’ used?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Cricket.
The term 'Leg bye' is exclusively used in Cricket. It refers to runs scored when the ball, after being struck by the bat or hitting any part of the batsman's body (except the hand holding the bat), travels away from the wicket, and the batsmen run between the wickets. For a leg bye to be valid, the umpire must be satisfied that the batsman attempted to play the ball with the bat or avoided being hit by the ball.
