Running Between the Wickets

Running between the wickets is more than just speed — it’s about judgment, coordination, and communication. Batsmen must quickly assess the field placement, anticipate opportunities for singles, and make split-second decisions. Loud and clear calls (“yes,” “no,” or “wait”) prevent run-outs. Practicing short sprints, turning techniques, and running drills sharpens both awareness and agility. Good running builds pressure on the fielders and helps rotate strike effectively.
