Cricket

Cricket is a globally cherished sport, particularly popular in countries like India, England, Australia, and Pakistan. Originating in southeast England during the 16th century, it’s a bat-and-ball game played between two teams, usually of eleven players each. In cricket, a bowler delivers the ball, aiming to hit the stumps while the batter endeavors to prevent this, aiming to score runs either by running or hitting the ball to the boundary. The sport is celebrated for its strategic depth, intricate rules, and the camaraderie it fosters among players and fans alike, with major tournaments like the ICC Cricket World Cup garnering extensive worldwide viewership and enthusiasm.
