The magnitude of India's love for cricket is incomparable. While most of us have grown up playing cricket and it may seem like a piece of cake, there are a few rules and techniques that you may find interesting. Here's your complete guide to the Game for beginners:
Cricket, now phrased as the unendorsed national sport of India owes its introduction to the British.
The game includes 2 teams with 11 players on each side. The two teams usually have a toss to decide which team gets to bat or bowl first.
Cricket is mostly an outdoor game. While it's ideal to have a proper pitch with the required equipment, cricket can be played in any place with a horizontal stretch of land. Gully cricket for example is very popular in India, a common sight on a lot of Indian streets.
It doesn't take too long to deduce the rules of the game, easily acquired from direct observation of a cricket match.
The aim of the team that bats first is to score as many runs as possible and make sure that the other team is not able to match up. The bowling team, on the other hand, tries to stop the batsman from scoring with its fielders while the bowler aims to hit the wicket stump so that the batsman is out.
We all know that Cricket is a great team sport that can serve hours of recreation and help with developing social skills but the lesser known fact is the health benefits of Cricket. There are indeed some very relevant functions of the game like building stamina and endurance from the constant running around across the field, similar to a form of cardio.
Other benefits include the development of hand-eye coordination, balance, flexibility, muscle toning etc.
Oh yes, Cricket is for everyone especially if you enjoy team sports but you're also looking to develop individually and understand the importance of self-reliance. When the time comes to bowl or bat or even take a catch, your teammates can't to it for you and that's where the individual performance will matter.
It's super simple. You would only require a cricket ball and bat to begin the glorious game.
Now that you've more or else understood the sense behind the game, the next thing to do is to gather your equipment and head to the field. There is no better way to understand a game than experiencing it firsthand.
