What is the distance between the popping crease and the stumps on a cricket pitch ?

a) $3 1/2$ feet

b) 3 feet

c) 4 feet

d) $2 1/2$ feet

Answer: (c)

Batting Crease or Popping Crease is drawn parallel to the bowling crease at a distance of 4 feet or 121.92 cms. A run is completed each time the two batsmen cross this crease at their opposite ends. As mentioned above for a Bowling Crease, if a bowler oversteps this crease in his delivery stride then the delivery is declared as a no-ball.

This crease comes into the picture during the ruling of run-outs and stump outs. A batsman has a choice of standing outside the batting crease. He can be stumped out by the wicketkeeper if he is out of this crease or on it after playing a delivery as long as the ball is in play.
