In cricket, which of the following is considered as LBW?

A.

The fielder catches a batted ball on the fly.

B.

The batsman’s body interferes with a bowled ball that would hit the wicket.

C.

The bowler knocks over (or, breaks) the wicket with a bowl.

D.

The fielder catches a ground ball and throws it at the wicket, knocking it down before tha batsman gets there.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) The batsman’s body interferes with a bowled ball that would hit the wicket.
Explanation of LBW (Leg Before Wicket):
LBW occurs when the batsman’s body (usually the leg) blocks a bowled ball that would have hit the stumps, such as:
· The ball must pitch in line with the stumps or outside off-stump.
· The ball must not have touched the bat before hitting the batsman's body.
· The ball must be on course to hit the stumps.
Information booster:
· The fielder catches a batted ball on the fly: This describes a catch out. The batsman is out if a fielder catches the ball before it hits the ground.
· The bowler knocks over (or, breaks) the wicket with a bowl: This describes a bowled out, which occurs when the bowler directly hits the stumps with the ball, dislodging the bails.
