Are the number of runs scored or wickets taken the only indicator of the form of a player. Or are there any other indicators?

It depends on his technique his timing, shot selection, and also his mood. If a attacking batsman tries to stay on the wicket, or either plays defensive, what he normally doesn´t. If the batsman is continuously getting out by the edges, or in the slips, that means that he is not getting his timing right, or either is failing to judge the line of the delivery. If the batsman has scored a fifty (50) on nearly 75-80 balls, that means he is trying to spend time in the middle, because he isn´t getting his rythm going. And if you score even a breath-taking 20-25, that means that he is looking to play aggressively. So, he isn´t out of form. For example: Mohammad Kaif, he would spend some time in the middle, will get himself in but, will throw his wicket away. He got himself in, and got out in the last game, against Australia. And that too by giving the bowler a return catch, on a miss-timed shot. Take a example of Sachin Tendulkar: During the Test series against Pakistan (of 2006), all the peoples said that Tendulkar is out of form, and many of them named him Endulkar. But I knew that he isn´t out of form but, the luck isn´t favouring him. Because he had played some beautiful shots. And look: He scored a hundred in the 1st ODI of that series, score 42 in the 2nd and scored a brilliant 95 in the 3rd match. Why? The luck favoured him during the ODI series. Luck doesn´t means that a drop chance or a decision favoured but, sometimes a swinging delivery, sometimes ball keeping low.
And for the bowlers: It´s really easy to judge if they are out of form. Because, if they are out of form, they won´t get their lenght right, will bowl some wayward deliveries. And if they are in form, there will much of the ohs and ahs on their bowling, will also bowl some yorker lenght deliveries.
Hope you understood.

A player far away from the wicket is player out of form. A player within the vicinity of the wicket is the player in form

In the game of cricket what matters is Batsman should score runs and Bowlers should take wickets. If they are not doing so consistently, he is considered out of form and his presence in the team is not benefiting the team

If the player does not perform well for a series or continously for some matches then he is told to be not in form. Now a days team India is not in form.

If a batsman is not scoring continously for 10 matches and a bowler not taking wickets in same 10 or more matches then we are just loading them like Sehwag, Pathan, kaif in India.

It isn't by their scores or wickets. It's decided by how he bowls, how he plays a shot.
You know some times some player got wicket luckly or some players made his centuries after some chances given by fielders or umpires.

to judge a players performance the yardstick is to see the runs scored and wickets taken by him fielding also will add.

ACTUALLY IT IS DONE BY COMPARING HIS PERFORMANCE,BATTING AVERAGE WICKETS TAKEN PER SEASON WITH AN AVERAGE PLAYER!
IF HIS RECORDS SHOW HIS AVERAGE BELOW AN AVERAGE PLAYER THEN HE IS CONSIDERED AS NOT IN FORM AND VISE VERSA!
