Question

A batter dislodges both the bails with the bat in an attempt to hit the ball. What will be the decision of the Umpire in this situation?

Answer 1

The umpire will give the batsman out, hit wicket. Under the Laws of Cricket a striker is out if, while attempting to play the ball (or setting off for a run) and the ball is in play, his bat or person puts down his own wicket (dislodges the bails).
