- The batsman has played 10 innings before the 11th. Let his average before the 11th inning be $x$ .

- Total runs scored in 10 innings = $10 x$ .

- After scoring 88 runs in the 11th inning, his new total runs = $10 x + 88$ .

- New average after 11th inning is $x + 4$ .

- Therefore, $\frac{10 x + 88}{11} = x + 4$ .

- Solving gives: $10 x + 88 = 11 x + 44$ .

- Equation simplifies to: $x = 44$ .

- New average: $44 + 4 = 48$ .

- Option 3: 48 is correct.
