      Umpire signals dead ball

    • C.

    Correct Answer
    A. Batsman gets 5 runs
    Explanation
    If a player fielded the ball with his cap, it would be considered as a boundary, and the batsman would be awarded 5 runs. This is because fielding the ball with any part of the player's attire, other than their hand, is considered an illegal fielding action. In such cases, the umpire signals a boundary, and the batsman is awarded 5 runs.
