The game of cricket is divided into three formats. E.g.

Since we are talking about ODIs, let's find out first what ODI cricket means.
What is ODI cricket?
The official name of ODI cricket is ODI International or ODI. One-day cricket means limited overs cricket where a specific over match is played between two teams according to international status. And this game has to end in one day. That is why it is called One Day.
There is a good idea about ODI cricket. Let's learn about some of the known and unknown rules and regulations of ODI cricket.
Some rules of ODI cricket
1. Timed out
After a batsman is out, a new batsman will come on the pitch and take guard. However, the time to take that guard is only 3 minutes. If a batsman fails to come on the pitch within these 3 minutes, he will be considered timed out.
That was once the case with the famous batsman Richard Pybus. You can follow Richard Pybus' 10 batting tips to sharpen your batting.
2. The length-width of the bat
The length of the bat should not be more than 38 inches and the width should not be more than 4.25 inches.
3. Deliberately holding the ball by hand
If a batsman intentionally grabs the ball with his hand or obstructs it, the batsman will be considered out. However, in this case, the fielders of the opposing team must apply to the umpire.
4. Hit twice
This rule is known in the cricket dictionary as ‘Hit the ball twice’. If the batsman hits the ball again after hitting the body or the bat, it is considered out at the request of the fielder and the bowler.
5. Considered not out without appeal
No matter how clearly a batsman is out, the bowler has to appeal for it. If the bowler or fielder does not apply even after a sure catch, stamping or lbw, the umpire will not dismiss the batsman. This rule is mentioned in Rule 27 of the ICC.
6. Say no
If the bowler does not bowl according to the rules, it will be considered as no ball and for this the batting team will get an extra ball and run. Normally if the ball is broken at the elbow, if the bowler's foot crosses the popping crease during delivery, the ball will be considered as no ball if it passes directly over the batsman's shoulder
7. Hit wicket
If the batsman's body, bat or dress gets the stamp bell falling while batting, the batsman will be out on the hit wicket rule. In this case, no role of wicketkeeper is required. If you want to be a skilled wicketkeeper, follow these 6 tips.
8. Free hit
If a bowler currently has a no ball, the next ball gets to the batsman as a free hit. With this, the batsman will not be out except for a run out. So, all the batsmen want to use the free hit by scoring.
9. Injured player re-enters the field
If a player goes off the field due to injury and wants to return to the field, he must first notify the umpire. Fielding team will be deducted 5 runs if they enter the field without informing the umpire.
10. Determining the original XI before the toss
Before the toss, the captains of the two teams have to submit their original XI match in writing to the officials. If for any reason a captain wants to make a change in the XI, it is possible only with the consent of the captain of the opposing team.
11. Match referee
There is an ICC referee who manages each match properly with the help of umpires. However, the match referee cannot be from either of the two countries.
12. Freedom of umpires
In cricket matches, the umpire always acts independently. It is up to the ICC to decide who will officiate the match. No team or player can disagree.
13. Slow over rate
The bowlers of a team will have to bowl a minimum of 14 overs per hour. If a team fails to bowl an average of 14 overs per hour, the captain of that team is either fined or banned for some matches.
14. Match deadline
The ICC basically allocates 7 hours for an ODI match (excluding innings breaks). However, this game of uncertainty often cannot be completed on time.
15. Review in 15 seconds
Both teams have two reviews each. With this review, they get a chance to reconsider the decision of the umpire. However, a review is required within 15 seconds of the umpire's decision.
16. The length-width of the pitch
The pitch is an important part of the game of cricket. The pitch will be 22 yards long and 10 feet wide. A total of 6 stamps will be placed at each of the two ends of the pitch. The height of each stamp will be 26 inches, the width of the three stamps will be 9 inches.
17. Mankading out
This rule is quite funny and controversial. If the non-strike batsman leaves the popping crease before the bowler delivers the ball, the bowler can hit the ball with the bell of the stumps and get him out. This rule came to the notice of many after the Ashwin-Butler mankading out in the IPL a few seasons ago.
18. Super over
I will come to the end of the discussion and talk about Super Over. If both the teams score equal runs, then victory or defeat is determined by the super over. Super over means one over game.
The team that scores more runs in this one over will win. If the two teams score the same number of runs in the Super Over, then the team with the most number of boundaries wins.
Among the several rules approved by the ICC, these were the 18 most important rules of ODI cricket. The rules and regulations of ODI cricket are approved and universally accepted by the ICC. ODI rules are governed by these rules.
In this age of information technology, players as well as spectators are more or less aware of all these rules and regulations. However, to enjoy the game of cricket as a spectator, these rules must be known to all.
