This is when the batsman runs to the opposite stumps to score a single run. The number of times this action is completed after one shot determines how many runs are scored.
The term 'rotating the strike' is used when batsman do this in a game to take pressure off themselves, and these drills will ensure your players are prepared for this.
Key to the success of running between the wickets is how well the batsman's fellow batter 'backs-up'. This is when the non-striking batsman walks out of their crease after the bowler has released the ball to give them less distance to run to the opposite stump.
Game-based training and match simulation prepare players for real competition more effectively than isolated drills. Modern coaching integrates pressure scenarios, decision-making, and competitive situations into every training session.
Catches win matches remains cricket's truest saying. From high balls under lights to sharp slip catches, the ability to hold chances consistently separates winning teams from those that let matches slip away.
Elite running between wickets adds significant runs without risk. Quick singles, converted twos, and intelligent strike rotation separate the best batting partnerships from average ones across all formats.
