The term ‘Follow – On’ is used in which of the following games/sports?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Cricket.

The term "Follow-On" is used in the sport of cricket. It refers to a situation in a multi-day match (such as a Test match or a first-class match) where the team batting second scores significantly fewer runs than the team that batted first.

If the team batting first has a lead of a specified number of runs (usually 200 runs in Test matches), they can ask the team batting second to bat again immediately, instead of the first team batting for their second innings. This is called enforcing the follow-on.
