While playing Cricket who doesn’t love to get a wicket, but there are not a few ways to out the batsmen. There are 11 types of out in cricket by which a team can get a wicket, and we will see all of them here.
Bowled:- When a Bowler hits the wicket by ball while bowling by using his bowling abilities then the batsmen is declared out by the umpire. It is the most common way of getting a wicket.
Catch Out:- When the ball is hit by batsmen while batting and the ball is caught by any fielder inside boundary line, without letting it hit on the ground then the batsman is declared catch out.
Leg By Wicket (LBW):- When the ball hits the pad when they are straight ahead to the stumps is declared as LBW out. It can be checked by the nature of bowling and also the ball must be hitting outside off stump.
Stumped Out:- It is the way that is used while spinner bowler, as the wicket keeper catches the ball and hits the wicket when batsman is out of the crease. If the batsman reaches the creases early then he is not out. If not then he is out, it is umpired by the leg umpire on ground and third umpire if required.
Hit Wicket:- It is one of the rarest ways of getting out, as the batsman himself hits the wicket while batting by bat or his body then he is called out by this way.
Retired Out:- Batsman can be retired out if he decides to go out of the ground with consenting umpires. And once someone is retired out he cannot come back to the crease again in the same match.
Obstructing The Field:- After hitting the ball if a batsman comes in the way of the fielder to obstruct him from catching the ball then he is given out by this way.
Run Out:- When the batsmen are running between wickets to take runs and the fielders hit the wicket by ball before the batsman reaches the crease then they get run out. This is some usual way of getting out in tight situations of final overs and like situation.
Hit The Ball twice:- When a batsman hits the ball twice after being bowled by bat or any part of their body.
Handled the Ball:- When the batsman tries to intentionally touch the ball while facing delivery, then the batsmen is given out by this way.
Timed Out:- When the new batsman takes more than given time to reach crease after the fall of wicket then he is called timed out. The time limit was 3 Minutes earlier, which was reduced to 2 minutes in Test and ODI, and 90 seconds in T20 cricket. Recently, Angelo Mathews was timed out in WC 2023 during a match against Bangladesh that makes him the only player to get out in such a way.
In all these ways a team can get wicket while playing cricket across all the formats, and in any league or tournament of International Cricket.
