Day by day Cricket is growing and developing in other countries. In Cricket there are three types of formats –

In one day they get 90 overs to play. In this format, each team play two innings, many times there are chances to draw in such case no result comes out. In Cricket toss is important part of the game, because it decided who will bat or ball first according to their choice. If you win toss you can bat first or ball first it’s all depends on you what you want to like do first. Cricket is a team game, but team member has to right to take decision whether he is out or not.
The umpire is a person who takes all decisions in cricket; there are three umpires in cricket –
- First umpire– who stands nearby stumps.
- Second umpire– who stands nearby batsman inside the circle ground.
- Third umpire– His work is to take decisions but in a digital way by help of technology. If ground umpire facing difficulty to take the decision, that time they can take help from third umpire.
For Cricket, you required 22 yard pitch to play it comfortably. There are three pairs of stumps on one end and other end another three pair of stumps. The way to score runs comes in the basic rules and regulations of cricket. There are many ways to score runs like by running on the pitch. If you hit the ball by bat you have to run on the pitch by carrying a bat in hand up to another end of the pitch. The batsman is standing on the other end while run to make a complete one run. It’s compulsory both batsmen should run to score runs. They will consider out if they didn’t cross the crease line. It depends on format how many overs they will play.
In one over there are six balls, bowled by specific person. If you miss the ball it will consider as empty ball, no run on missing ball. Cricket is played in the circle shape ground and there is not a specific measurement of ground it depends on place & country. While it’s circle shape ground at the ends there are ropes which are also known as “Boundary Line” in Cricket. If you hit the ball which crosses the boundary line you get runs. If the ball travels on ground level you get 4 runs as it’s known as four runs in Cricketing world. If the ball cross boundary line directly pitching outside boundary line we get 6 runs as it known as “Six” runs.
We also get runs by overthrow in Cricket. So, what is Overthrow? A ball hit by the batsman and fielder throws it back to wicketkeeper end if he doesn’t collect or miss to catch the ball, a batsman can take run at that situation.
There are different ways to make batsman out –
- Bowled– If a batsman can’t hit the ball with the bat and it hit to stumps is known as “Bowled”.
- Caught– Batsman hit ball in the air and fielder catch while catching ball it should not fall on the ground.
- Stumped– When a batsman take run at that time if batsman not able to cross the crease line at that moment wicketkeeper stump him.
- Run-Out– When a batsman didn’t cross the crease line and if fielder hit ball to stumps as it known as “Run Out”.
- Hit- Wicket– In Cricket a batsman can also get out by his mistake. If a batsman hits a stump by the body or bat then, he is going to declare as “Hit-wicket”.
