একজন ব্যাটসম্যান ক্রিকেটে কত প্রকারের বাইরে যেতে পারেন
Cricket is a sport characterized by an intricate and rich set of rules that have been developed and refined over its long history. Perhaps some of the most complex components of these regulations pertain to how a batsman can be dismissed or, in other words, become ‘out.’ There are multiple ways this can happen, each with its particular nuances and subtleties.
1. Bowled Out
Mechanism of Dismissal
The first and perhaps most straightforward way for a batsman to get out in cricket is when the bowler delivers a ball that hits the stumps directly behind him. This method is known as being ‘bowled out.’ When this happens, the bails – little pieces of wood resting on top of the wickets – jump off due to impact from the ball. Once this occurs, it signals an end to the batsman’s innings immediately.
The Impact on Game Strategy
Bowlers frequently aim for this type of dismissal as it offers nearly absolute certainty – if they hit the wickets, the batsman cannot continue his batting endeavor. Consequently, bowlers plan their deliveries around this strategy, generating a plethora of tactics aimed at dislodging those tiny bails.
2. Caught Out
Mechanism of Dismissal
Another common way in which a batsman can find himself declared ‘out’ is by hitting a shot that gets caught before touching the ground. It does not matter who catches it; it could be either one of the fielders or even the bowler himself.

The Impact on Game Strategy
This rule instigates much excitement within games since it often places fielders against tough challenges where their athleticism comes into play. Cricketers need to leap towards extravagant shots taken by skilled batsmen, dive low for ones hardly skimming the surface, and track high flying balls through the air.
3. Leg Before Wicket (LBW)
Mechanism of Dismissal
Arguably one of cricket’s most contentious methods of dismissal represents LBW or ‘Leg before wicket.’ It comes into effect when a delivery that would have hit the stumps gets blocked by any part of the batsman’s body other than his hand holding the bat.

This rule alters the way batsmen position themselves while playing their shots since now care must be taken to avoid inadvertently intercepting an incoming ball with their bodies. Bowlers relish this form of dismissal as it presents an extra avenue for them to attack.
4. Run Out & Stumped
Mechanism of Dismissal
The methods of ‘Run out’ and ‘stumping’ involve a batsman becoming dismissed if he ventures from his crease and fails to make it back before the bails are dislodged from the stumps. The only difference is, in a run-out situation, another player needs to collect and return the ball to effect dismissal whereas in stumping, the wicketkeeper executes this task right after taking a delivered ball.
Playing cricket involves much more than simply hitting runs and collecting wickets; it is also about mastering these rules that might seem novel at first glance. However, once players develop their understanding, these rules transform each game into something grander – contests between strategists who manipulate regulations, tactics against athletes thriving under pressure, and duels between bowlers trying for dismissals and batsmen aiming to frustrate such attempts.
