Batting style refers to the technique and approach a player uses when batting in the game of cricket. It can be categorized mainly into two types: right-handed and left-handed batting. Each style influences how a player faces bowlers and plays different types of shots. Players may also adopt specific batting styles, such as aggressive or defensive, depending on the match situation. An aggressive style focuses on scoring runs quickly, while a defensive style emphasizes protecting the wicket and building an innings. Understanding batting styles helps in analyzing player performance and strategies in cricket matches.
