If in a cricket one day match, there were no wide balls, no wides, no extras and no overthrows.
What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in an ideal case scenario?
Solution
1653
Explanation:
For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball of the over,
the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he
retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can score in each over:
6 * 5 + 3 = 33
But this will have to go like it only till the 49th over. In the last over, he can hit a six in the last ball as
well as that will be the last ball of the match.
Thus runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36.
Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653
