A
Anchor
💡 Explanation:
An anchor is a top-order batsman who bats for long periods, stabilizing the innings and preventing collapse. They typically bat at number 3 or 4 and focus on occupying the crease rather than scoring quickly. 'Nightwatchman' is a lower-order batsman sent in to protect top-order batsmen before close of play.
