Indoor cricket you may have heard of it, but
what exactly it is, may be a question arising in
your mind. As the name itself suggests, indoor
cricket is nothing but cricket played indoors. It
is a variant of cricket that shares many basic
concepts with the original game, but with added
enhancements, to improve the engagement and
enjoyment of casual players. Based on the
abilities and availability of players for the
match, there are lots of variants existing
within the indoor cricket game.

• All of us know the basic rules of the traditional
  cricket game. Now, let us take a look at the
  rules of indoor cricket. Just like basic
  cricket, indoor cricket also involves two
  batsmen, a bowler, and a team of fielders. The
  bowler bowls the ball to the batsmen, who must
  make scores by running across the pitch, or
  hitting a four or six. The team with the highest
  score at the end of the match wins the game.

  significantly from the traditional game in
  several ways, some of the most significant ones
