Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each. The game is played on a circular or oval-shaped field with a 22-yard long rectangular pitch at its center. One team bats, attempting to score runs by hitting a ball bowled by the opposing team’s bowler, while the other team fields, aiming to dismiss the batsmen and limit their runs. A run is scored when the batsmen successfully run between the two sets of wickets at either end of the pitch after hitting the ball.
The game has various formats, with the most recognized being Test cricket, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20). Test cricket is traditionally played over five days, while ODIs and T20 matches have shorter, predetermined durations. Cricket originated in England in the 16th century and has since become popular in many countries, particularly in South Asia, Australia, and the Caribbean. The sport is governed internationally by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Key elements of the game include batting, bowling, and fielding, with specific roles assigned to players based on their skills. Cricket is noted for its rich traditions, complex rules, and its ability to cultivate a passionate fan base.
