Ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed in cricket

#3 Stumped

This is the only form of dismissal where the bowler can get a wicket even after bowling an illegal delivery

If batsman steps out leaving no part of his bat or body behind the crease and the wicket-keeper dislodges the bails, he/she is termed out. In case the keeper dislodges the bail before the ball reaches him/her, the batsman will not be given out.

Stumped is the only form of dismissal which goes to bowler's tally even when the delivery is not legitimate.

#4 Leg before wicket (LBW)

LBW occurs when the ball is pitched in line and would've gone on to hit the stumps

A batsman can be given out LBW if the ball hits his/her body or any sports equipment other than the bat or gloves, and the ball was assumed to hit the stumps.

For the batsman to be out, the ball should have an impact outside the off-stump and by judging its bounce, spin or swing, it should have gone hit the stumps if not for the interception.

The batsman won't be given out if the ball hits bat or glove before touching the body or if the ball is pitched outside leg-stump. However, the batsman can be given out if the ball is outside off-stump and the batsman doesn't offer a shot.

#5 Run-Out

It is mandatory for a fielder to touch the ball before it hits the wicket for the run-out to be legitimate

If the fielder dislodges the bails while either of the batsmen fails to make his/her ground while running between the wickets, the batsman is regarded run-out.

The batsmen must have something behind the line to be safe unless they are on the same side, in that case, the batsman further away from the stumps adjudged run-out.

It is mandatory for a fielder to touch the ball before it hits the wicket for the run-out to be legitimate. If the striker hits the ball and it strikes the stumps on the other end while the non-striker is out of the crease, it will be marked run-out only if the bowler has touched the ball before it hits the wicket.
