In term LBW ‘L’ stands for Leg. The definition of Leg Before Wicket (lbw) is currently Law 36 in the Laws of Cricket, written by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). Before a batsman can be dismissed lbw, the fielding team must appeal to the umpire.

Why LBW is given not when ball is not pitched in Stump line while bowling around the wicket?
