Batter

Cricket is a popular team sport that involves two teams of eleven players each. It's played with a bat and a ball on an oval-shaped field. The batting team's goal is to score runs by hitting the ball and running between two sets of wooden stumps, while the fielding team tries to dismiss the batsmen and limit the runs scored. Cricket matches can take various forms, including Test matches that can last up to five days, One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and the shorter Twenty20 (T20) format. The sport has a rich history, with matches often embodying a blend of strategy, skill, and teamwork.
