11 Ways To Get Out In Cricket

Lose ten wickets and your innings is complete. Here's all the ways which can contribute to that happening.
Let us have a look at all 11 ways of getting out in Cricket.
1: Bowled:
When a bowler’s delivery hits the stumps, directly or indirectly, and one or both bails are dislodged from the stumps, the batsman is given  out Bowled. It is one of the most common ways of being dismissed.
2: Stumped:
A batsman is stumped and out when he tries to play the ball while he or his bat is not in crease and the wicket-keeper removes the bails from the stumps with the ball. This wicket is awarded to the bowler.
3: Run Out:
If either one of the batsmen on the pitch are outside the crease (the line in front of the stumps), whilst attempting a run, and the fielder removes the bails by hitting the stumps with the ball, the batsman will be deemed Run out.
4: LBW:
LBW stands for Leg Before Wicket. As the name indicates, if the ball strikes any part of the batsman’s body, other than hand and arm, and in umpire’s judgment the ball would have struck the stumps, in that case, the Umpire can declare batsman as out and the wicket is awarded to the bowler.
5: Hit Wicket:
If the batsman knocks the stumps either with the bat or his body whilst trying to strike the ball then he is declared out and the wicket is awarded to the bowler.
6: Timed Out:
A very interesting way of a dismissal. If a new batsman fails to take his position in the field to replace a dismissed batsman within three minutes then he is out. This happens rarely in county and first class cricket matches. In 1997-98, in a cricket match between Tripura and Orissa in India, H. Yadav was given timed out because he was in conversation with his team manager and did not reach the crease on time.
7: Retired:
If the batsman leaves the ground without informing the umpire when he is not injured. The batsman may only continue his innings after the permission of opposing captain. Only two batsman have been given out in this way in the history of cricket.  Mahela Jayawardene and Marvan Atapattu of Srilanka against Bangladesh in September 2001.
8: Caught:
It is the second most common way of getting dismissed. When the batsman hits or edges the ball with the bat or with glove and the ball is caught by the fielder, wicket keeper or the bowler, the batsman is out. The wicket is awarded to the bowler.
9: Handled the Ball:
When the batsman touches the ball without the permission of fielders, he is given an out. No player of the fielding side is awarded with his wicket. Seven batsmen in Tests and two batsmen in one-day cricket have been given out in this manner up till now. No one of the fielding side is awarded with his wicket.
10: Obstructing the field:
When a batsman deliberately obstructs a fielder physically or verbally then he is out. This rule is to make sure that the batsman must not interfere in the fielding. Once Inzamam-ul-Haq blocked a fielder’s throw with his bat against a match with India in 2006 and was given an out by umpire.
11: Hits the Ball Twice:
The batsman is given out when he deliberately hits the ball a second time after playing a shot either with his bat or body. No bowler is awarded his wicket.
