Batting is a fundamental skill in the sport of cricket and baseball, where a player attempts to hit a ball with a bat. In cricket, the batter stands in front of the wicket and aims to score runs by hitting the ball bowled by the bowler. In baseball, the batter stands in a designated area called the batter's box and tries to hit the pitched ball to reach base safely. Successful batting requires good hand-eye coordination, timing, and technique. Players often practice different batting styles and grips to improve their performance. In both sports, the objective is to score runs while minimizing the chances of being out.
