When the batsman, in cricket, is out without scoring a single run, is called

drive
duck
flight
googly

The correct answer is B. duck.

A duck is a term used in cricket to describe a batsman who is dismissed without scoring a run. The term is thought to have originated in the 18th century, when ducks were often used as a form of target practice.

There are a number of ways in which a batsman can be dismissed for a duck. The most common way is to be bowled, which occurs when the bowler hits the stumps with the ball. Other ways to be dismissed for a duck include being caught, run out, stumped, and hit wicket.

Being dismissed for a duck is considered to be a poor performance by a batsman. However, it is important to note that even the best batsmen in the world have been dismissed for ducks on occasion.

Here are brief explanations of the other options:

  • A drive is a type of shot in cricket in which the batsman hits the ball with a straight bat and drives it down the ground.
  • Flight is a type of spin bowling in which the bowler imparts a lot of spin on the ball, causing it to dip and turn in the air.
  • A googly is a type of spin bowling in which the bowler imparts a lot of spin on the ball, causing it to deviate from its intended path after pitching.
