    Question

    The image represents one of the signs given by umpire in the game of cricket. What does it call?

    A.

    Decision change

    B.

    Four

    C.

    Dead ball

    D.

    Short run

    Correct option is A

    The correct answer is (A) Decision change

    Explanation:
    • In cricket, an umpire might signal a 'Decision Change' if they realize an error or after a review/consultation.
    • The sign usually involves the umpire crossing their arms across the chest (or similar revoking gesture depending on the specific ICC sub-code) to indicate that the previous signal is null and void.
    • This is common in the DRS era where an 'Out' signal is changed to 'Not Out' following a successful player review.

    Information Booster:
    Dead Ball: Signalled by crossing the wrists across the lower stomach area.
    Short Run: The umpire bends their arm upwards and touches the near shoulder with the tips of their fingers.
    Bye: Raising an open hand above the head.

    Additional Knowledge:
    Four (Option B): Signalled by waving an arm from side to side across the body, finishing with the arm pointing to the boundary.
    Dead Ball (Option C): Indicates the ball is no longer in play and no runs/wickets can be taken until the next delivery.
    Short Run (Option D): Indicates that a batsman failed to touch the ground behind the popping crease while completing a run.
