Kolhi

Kolhi is a game that people play in some parts of the world, especially in South Asia. It is very similar to a game called cricket. In kolhi, you have two teams - one team that is "batting" and another team that is "fielding."

The team that is batting has two players who stand at each end of a small field. The batting team's goal is to score as many runs as possible. The fielding team has all their players spread out in the field and their goal is to stop the batting team from scoring runs.

To start the game, one player from the batting team stands in front of the other player, who uses a wooden stick to throw a small round ball towards the other player. The player who throws the ball is called the bowler. The bowler tries to throw the ball in a way that makes it difficult for the other player to hit it.

When the ball is thrown, the player from the batting team tries to hit the ball with his wooden stick and make it go far into the field. This is called a "shot" or a "hit." If he is successful in hitting the ball, both players start running back and forth between the two ends of the field. Each time they run from one end to the other, they score a run.

The fielding team members try to quickly get the ball and throw it back to the bowler. If the ball reaches the bowler before the batting player reaches the other end of the field, the batting player is considered "out" and has to leave the field. The fielding team also tries to catch the ball in the air after the batting player hits it. If they catch it, the batting player is out.

The batting team keeps trying to hit the ball and score runs until they have used up all of their turns or until the batting players are all out. Then, the teams switch roles - the fielding team becomes the batting team and vice versa.

The game of kolhi continues in this way with both teams taking turns batting and fielding until a specific number of rounds, called "overs," have been completed. The team that scores the most runs at the end of the game wins!

Kolhi is a fun and exciting game that requires teamwork, coordination, and skill. It is enjoyed by people of all ages and is a popular sport in many parts of the world.
