Kriket, known as cricket in English, is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players each. The game is played on a circular or oval-shaped field, with a rectangular pitch at the center. The objective is to score runs by hitting the ball and running between two sets of wickets, which are three wooden stumps topped with two bails. The game has various formats, including Test cricket, One Day Internationals (ODIs), and Twenty20 (T20) matches. Each format has its own rules and duration, with Test matches lasting up to five days, while T20 matches are completed in about three hours. Kriket is especially popular in countries like India, Australia, and England.
