All players must follow the basic rules of a cricket game. The rules include the following: All players must follow the same rules as the other. Fielders and batsmen are not allowed to touch the ball. Batsmen have to protect their stumps. The coin toss determines how the game will play out.
Stumps are protected by batsmen
As a cricket batsman, his job is to protect and defend the stumps. The wicket is crucial to the game as it keeps track of runs and decides how far each team goes. Generally, a batsman is given three chances to score runs before being bowled out. It is important to protect the wicket to ensure that he does not lose a wicket.
The batsmen cannot touch the ball with their bats
A batsman is out when he touches the ball with his bat or reaches for it without the consent of the bowler. The fielder can catch the ball and catch it before it hits the ground. But the batsman cannot touch or handle the ball until he gets to the other side of the pitch. Fielders can also catch the ball with their glove or throw it. A batsman might also be out if they don't run after hitting it, or if they take longer than two to come in.
Batsmen are captured
Different methods are used in cricket to determine when a batsman has been caught out. A batsman could be caught if he/she causes damage to the stumps using the bat or body. This can be done either verbally or by doing something. If a batsman tries to control the ball using their equipment, they can be caught.
Fielders are not allowed in the game to interfere
It is important that fielders are not in the way of the bowler. It is crucial to keep a boundary fielder out of the way in T20I cricket games. It could mean the difference of winning an innings or losing it. Although the penalty for in-match interference is not as severe as for a dead ball it can still prove to be devastating for the team.
Batsmen are not required to bounce the ball on the pitch
One controversial rule in cricket games is the "leg before wicket" rule, which prohibits batsmen from using their bodies to prevent the ball from striking the wicket. The rule was largely a result of a series of incidents in which England team players left the field to protest the "no ball" call. Pad play, or blocking balls with your pads, was popularized by batsmen in the 18th century. This made the game dull and unfair to the bowlers, so the game's laws were amended. The batsmen were not required to bounce the ball on the pitch, however, and in 1864, bowlers were given the freedom to bowl overhand. They could not cock or straighten the arms. However, they were allowed to take a running start, which gave batsmen greater freedom
Additionals can be scored by other methods than hitting the ball by a batter
Extras are runs scored by a batsman other than by hitting the ball. These runs are not credited by the batsman. They are recorded separately and are not included in the total run count. The total run count for an inning includes the combined runs of all the batsmen and any extras.
