In cricket, penalty runs are extra runs awarded to the opposing team due to a rule violation by the batting team. These runs are added to the opponent's score without them having to score them by hitting the ball.
For example, if the batting team is repeatedly breaking the rules, such as by running on the pitch, tampering with the ball, or obstructing the field, the umpire may decide to penalize them by awarding penalty runs to the opposing team. These runs help to ensure fair play and discourage teams from breaking the rules.
Penalty runs are a way to maintain discipline and uphold the integrity of the game.
