What's a 'run' in cricket?
In cricket, a run is the basic unit of scoring. Batters score runs by hitting the ball and running between the wickets, or by hitting boundaries (fours or sixes). England's 125-run victory margin against India means they scored 125 more runs than India did, showcasing a dominant performance.
