Answer 2

One of the cricket players was badly injured.

• The error in the given sentence is 'were'.
• The correct sentence becomes- 'One of the cricket players was badly injured.'
• Here, the sentence talks about one of all the players being injured.
• Since it talks of a single person, a singular auxiliary verb will be used.
• So, were will be replaced by was.
• The sentence means that only one of the players was badly injured.
