In cricket, batting is the act or skill of hitting the ball with a bat to score runs and prevent the loss of one's wicket. The player who is currently batting was called the batsman, but since September 2021 they are now officially referred to as a batter regardless of whether batting is their particular area of expertise. Historically, batsman and batswoman were used, and these terms remain in widespread use. Batters have to adapt to various conditions when playing on different cricket pitches, especially in different countries; therefore, as well as having outstanding physical batting skills, top-level batters will have quick reflexes, excellent decision-making skills, and be good strategists.
