'Third man' is related to which of the following sports?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Cricket.

  • The job of the third man is to basically negate any runs that may occur due to the ball going behind the slips or the gully fielders.
  • When the ball goes behind them, another person is required to prevent the ball from going to the boundary.
  • The ball travels very quickly around slips and, in limited-overs cricket, third-man is a very important position because lots of edges fly towards between or over the top of the slips.
