The term hit wicket in cricket refers to when the batsman, while hitting the ball, strikes his own wicket with his bat or body and is declared out. Cricket rules specify that if a batsman hits his wicket down with his bat or body after the bowler has entered his delivery stried and the ball is in play then he is out.
