Q. What is the total number of bails placed on the three stumps at either end of a cricket pitch?
Answer: 2
Notes: In a cricket game, there are two wickets, each having three stumps and topped with two bails. So, the total number of bails on either side of the pitch amounts to four. The bails play a crucial role in the game, as a batsman is considered out if a ball, delivered by the bowler, dislodges the bails from the top of the stumps.
