Cricket Rules for Dismissal

 In a cricket game, there are several rules that players need to follow in order to avoid being declared out. Here are the most common ways a player can be dismissed in cricket:

  1. Bowled: When the bowler's delivery hits the wicket and dislodges at least one bail, the batsman is considered "bowled" and is out.

  2. Caught: If the batsman hits the ball and it is caught by a fielder without bouncing on the ground, the batsman is out.

  3. LBW (Leg Before Wicket): If the ball hits the batsman's leg (below the knee) and the umpire determines that it would have hit the stumps had the leg not been in the way, the batsman is given out LBW.

  4. Run Out: If the batsman is outside the crease and a fielder hits the wicket with the ball before the batsman reaches the crease, the batsman is run out.

  5. Stumped: If the batsman steps out of the crease to play a delivery, and the wicket-keeper catches the ball and dislodges the bails before the batsman can get back into the crease, the batsman is stumped.

  6. Hit Wicket: If a batsman hits the wicket with his bat, body, or any part of his clothing while attempting a shot or running, the batsman is out.

  7. Obstructing the Field: If a batsman willingly obstructs the fielding team by actions like changing the direction of running, blocking a fielder's throw, or deliberately distracting the fielders, the batsman can be given out for obstructing the field.

  8. Timed Out: If a new batsman takes more than three minutes to arrive at the crease after the dismissal of the previous batsman, the umpire can declare the new batsman "timed out."

  9. Hit the Ball Twice: If a batsman intentionally hits the ball twice with his bat or body, other than for protecting his wicket, the batsman is out.

  10. Handled the Ball: If a batsman intentionally touches the ball with a hand that is not holding the bat, without the permission of the fielding side, the batsman is out.

It's important to note that there are some variations in these rules depending on the specific format of the game (e.g., Test cricket, One Day Internationals, Twenty20), as well as any additional playing regulations established by the governing cricket boards.
