If a ball hits on fielder's Cap/Head before he catches then is the batsman given Out?

Question

Sports, Cricket

Answer 1

Yes. Only when the ball hits the ground is it not ruled an out. This is an excerpt from a set of rules I found:

Caught:
If a fielder catches the ball on the full after the batsman has hit it with his bat. However, if the fielder catches the ball, but either during the catch or immediately after wards touches or steps over the boundary, then the batsman scores six runs and is not out.

I hope that helps you.

Answer 2

As long as the ball is caught by the fielder before the ball touches the ground irrespective whether it is bounced from the hat of any part of the body of the fielder, the batsman is out. The main criteria for giving batsman out is that the ball should be caught before the ball touches the ground.

Answer 3

Yes
