Which of the following statements about cricket dismissals is correct?
Hitting the ball twice deliberately results in dismissal.
Examine each statement against the Laws of Cricket.
Option A: Under Law 34 (Hit the ball twice), if a batter wilfully hits the ball a second time other than to guard the wicket, they are out — this is a recognised mode of dismissal. ✓
Option B: Retired Out is recorded when a batter leaves the field without the umpire's consent or due cause; it does not depend on umpire approval. ✗
Option C: Obstructing the Field (Law 37) requires a wilful act; an accidental obstruction does not lead to dismissal. ✗
Option D: Retired Out is the batter's own decision to leave the field; it does not happen automatically without that decision. ✗
Hence the correct statement is option A.
