एक ओवर में क्यों फेंकी जाती है सिर्फ 6 गेंदे ?

भारत का नेशनल स्पोर्ट्स भले ही हॉकी हो लेकिन यहां क्रिकेट के कई दीवाने हैं.

क्रिकेट का खेल कई नियम-कायदों का संगम है. इसमें कई तरह के रुल्स माने जाते हैं.

लेकिन सोचा है कि एक ओवर में छह गेंद ही क्यों डाली जाती है?

[{"selector":"#anim-f51bf9af-f7a1-452b-a620-9f3c24cc71e6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-873b43a0-45f9-4327-9426-9aa833136186","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c95031d-6a6d-4a3c-846e-b1153f57fdfe","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

खेल या तो पचास ओवर का होगा या फिर बीस ओवर का. इसके अलावा मैच में पिच की लंबाई भी फिक्स होती है.

979 में इंटरनेशनल क्रिकेट के कई नियम बनाए गए थे. इसी में एक ओवर में कितनी गेंदें डाली जाएंगी, ये भी फिक्स किया गया था.

[{"selector":"#anim-76be398b-db1a-42e3-bc5d-5a6231975bc0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-382f90f2-47ad-4f4f-a2d7-b0f82f86f974","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c745316b-29ec-4f83-b816-3646cd1e7ee9","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

इसी साल ये तय किया गया कि एक ओवर में छह गेंदें डाली जाएंगी. इससे पहले के इतिहास में एक ओवर में कभी चार, कभी पांच बॉल्स भी डाले जाते रहे थे.

क्रिकेट के इतिहास में एक ओवर की गेंदों की संख्या बदलती रही है.

[{"selector":"#anim-a2e3b344-2b80-40c8-9b64-347ecc266a5b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(7.105427357601002e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9cd0d86a-dd1e-4072-a723-f262e5de7abd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9df9ede9-bde3-4e2e-8f2d-b04a71314ea3","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

जब इंटरनेशनल क्रिकेट के कॉमन नियम बने उसके बाद से एक ओवर में छह गेंदों का चलन शुरू हो गया.

[{"selector":"#anim-391d8dae-7233-4112-956e-19fafaf4fc52 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, -0.000307038836798057%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7fee298e-0ffe-4e48-b35c-29fbdcf00893","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fef6c192-0b85-47d7-95a6-bda0e854440a","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.3333333333333333)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

तब से लेकर अब तक एक ओवर में छह गेंदें डाली जाती हैं. क्रिकेट में आउट करने के भी कई अलग अलग नियम हैं. इसमें कैच आउट, रन आउट से लेकर एलबीडब्लू तक शामिल है.
