In Cricket, a wide ball will add how many run/s to the batting team?
1
The question asks how many runs a wide ball adds to the batting team's score in cricket.
A wide ball is a delivery bowled too wide or too high for the batsman to play a normal shot, and it is signalled by the umpire.
As a penalty against the bowling side, a wide adds one run to the batting team's total as an 'extra'.
This one run is credited to the team, not to the individual batsman, and the delivery does not count as a legal ball of the over.
So the bowler generally has to bowl the ball again, and any additional runs from overthrows or byes off the wide are added separately.
The options 2, 3 and 4 overstate the basic penalty, so they are incorrect for a standard wide.
Hence the correct answer is 1 run.
In cricket, a wide ball adds 1 run to the batting team's total.
