🏏Rules
hardUnder the Laws of Cricket, a batter is out "leg before wicket" (LBW) only if several conditions are met. Which of these is NOT one of the required conditions?
AThe ball must not have pitched outside leg stump
BThe ball must have been going on to hit the stumps (or the batter offered no shot outside off, per the relevant sub-clause)
✓The batter must have been hit on any part of the body while attempting a run
DThe point of impact must generally be in line with the stumps if the batter attempted a shot
Answer Explanation
LBW requires the ball to have been legally delivered, not pitched outside leg stump, impact in line (with exceptions for no shot offered), and it must be shown to be going on to hit the stumps — none of the criteria relate to "attempting a run", which is irrelevant to an LBW claim.
