Question

If the ball hits the halmet and is caught in the field is it out?

Answer 1

do u mean to say the ball directly hits the helmet of batsman?

if the ball hits the helmet of batsman without touching the bat its not out. if the ball had hit the bat & then helmet of batsman or fielder & catch is taken then its out

Answer 2

if the ball gets an edge then hits the batsmen helmet and a fielder catches it then it is out but if the batsmen hits ball onto a fielders helmet at short leg and a fielder catches it then it is not out like the other day when Chanderpaul hit the ball onto short legs helmet and a fielder caught it it was not out because you cant be out of a fielders helmet

Answer 10

Well ,  there are 2 scenarios here :

1. The ball hits the batsman's helmet and is caught in the field. In such a situation , if the ball has not hit the batsman's bat or hand ( uptil the elbows ), then he is not out.

2. The batsman hits the ball, and the ball hits the close in fielder's helmet , and then pops to another fielder who catches it. Here too, the batsman is not out, as the helmet is considered to have defflected the ball and thus the batsman cannot be given out.
