Cricket is a very famous game played by many countries and people. It is an outdoor game. It was invented in the early 17 century in South England. The game is played between two teams. It is played with bat and ball.
The batter has to hit the ball to earn more runs while the fielders in the baller team try to catch the ball in the air or stop it from going out of the field to give fewer runs. The baller has to hit the ball to the wicket or to the wicketkeeper to make the batters out. There is a small stick known as a bell on top of the wicket that lights up when the ball hits the wicket. If the teams are the second team to bat, they have to chase the runs of the team that batted first, and if the second team makes more runs than the first team the second team wins but if the second balling team takes more wicket than the first team second team will win.
The cricket match will go on till it’s finished, it is not like football, or basketball with a time limit. Some famous players from our country and other countries are Virat Koli (India), Kushal Malla (Nepal), Steve Waugh (Australia), Mark Waugh (Australia), Sandeep Lamichhane (Nepal),
Mahendra Singh Dhoni (India), etc. I like playing cricket and it is one of my favorite sports.
