Which of the following terms is NOT related to cricket?

I. Eagle

II. Basket

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Both I and II.

  1. In cricket, the term 'eagle' is not related to the sport. 'Basket' is also not a cricket term. Common cricket terms include 'wicket,' 'boundary,' and 'over,' but neither 'eagle' nor 'basket' is used in cricket terminology.
  2. In basketball, 'eagle' can denote a team or player. The principal aim of the sport is to accumulate points by adeptly propelling the ball into the basket. This term is part of the broader context of basketball, where scoring and teamwork are key elements.
