Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A. Limit of overs was reduced to 50 overs
The match between India and Pakistan at Jaipur on 02-10-1983 was the first ODI match to be played with a limit of 50 overs per innings. This rule change was introduced in order to make the game more exciting and to reduce the length of matches.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B: The rule of field restriction was taken. This rule was introduced in 1975 and limited the number of fielders that could be placed outside the 30-yard circle in the first 15 overs of an innings.
- Option C: Over throw runs were batsman’s score. This rule has been in place since the beginning of ODI cricket.
- Option D: No-balls & wides were debited to bowlers analysis. This rule was introduced in 1980.
