If the ball had touched the ground or a fielder while it was on its way to cross the boundary, the batsman gets four runs in this case. If the batsman hits the ball hard enough to make it cross the marked boundary on the field, the batsman makes either four or six runs. ![]() Scoring a BoundaryRunning between the wickets is not the only way a batsman can make runs. If the fielders are taking more time to retrieve the ball, the batsmen may run between the wickets more than once and score “twos” and even “threes.” In theory, many runs can be made by running like this, but the fielders usually recover the ball quickly in reality as there are nine of them after the ball. If they cross each other and arrive safely at the opposite ends of the pitch before the fielders can catch the ball and hit the wicket, the striker has successfully scored one run, which is also known as a "single." Scoring a SingleA batsman scores one run when he hits the ball, either with the bat or with the gloved hand that is holding the bat, directing it away from the fielders so that both the players holding a bat (the striker and the non-striker) can run the length of the pitch.
