The calories burned playing cricket calculator uses input of your body weight, duration of play, intensity level, and specific cricket activities (batting, bowling, fielding) to estimate the energy expenditure during various cricket activities.
Cricket, being a dynamic sport, involves varying levels of physical exertion. The calculator uses the Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) values to determine caloric burn. METs represent the energy cost of physical activities, where 1 MET equals the energy expended while sitting quietly.
For a person weighing 70 kg playing cricket for 60 minutes at moderate intensity:
- MET value for general cricket: 5.0
- Calories burned = 70 kg × 5.0 METs × (60 minutes ÷ 60) = 350 calories

| Fast Bowling | 45 | 75 | 8.0 | 450 |
| Batting Practice | 60 | 65 | 4.8 | 312 |
| Fielding | 90 | 72 | 4.5 | 486 |

| Running Between Wickets | 15 | 65 | 6.0 | 97.5 |
| Catching Drills | 30 | 70 | 4.0 | 140 |
| Wicketkeeping Drills | 45 | 75 | 5.5 | 412.5 |

Calories Burned Playing Cricket Calculation Formula
The formula for calculating calories burned during cricket is:
Calories Burned = Body Weight (kg) × MET Value × (Duration in minutes ÷ 60)Different cricket activities have varying MET values:
- General cricket: 5.0 METs
- Batting/bowling practice: 4.8 METs
- Fast bowling: 8.0 METs
- Fielding: 4.5 METs
A 75 kg person bowling fast for 30 minutes: Calories burned = 75 × 8.0 × (30 ÷ 60) = 300 calories
How many calories do you burn while playing cricket, T20, Test, ODI
T20 Cricket (3 hours):
- Average intensity with frequent high-intensity bursts
- Typical calorie burn: 600-800 calories
- Higher intensity periods during power plays
ODI Cricket (7-8 hours):
- Moderate intensity with recovery periods
- Typical calorie burn: 1,200-1,500 calories
- Includes lunch and drinks breaks
Test Cricket (6-7 hours per day):
- Lower average intensity but longer duration
- Daily calorie burn: 1,500-2,000 calories
- Multiple sessions with varying intensity
For a 68 kg player in a T20 match:
- Active playing time: 180 minutes
- Average MET: 5.0
- Calories burned = 68 × 5.0 × (180 ÷ 60) = 1,020 calories
How many calories do you burn in a batting practice?
A typical batting practice session includes:
- Net practice: 4.8 METs
- Running between wickets: 6.0 METs
- Rest periods: 1.5 METs
Batting practice combines various activities including running between wickets, shot execution, and recovery periods. The caloric expenditure depends on the practice intensity and duration.
For a 65 kg batsman practicing for 45 minutes:
- Net practice (30 minutes): 65 × 4.8 × (30 ÷ 60) = 156 calories
- Running practice (15 minutes): 65 × 6.0 × (15 ÷ 60) = 97.5 calories Total calories burned = 253.5 calories
How many calories does fast bowling burn?
Fast bowling is one of the most physically demanding aspects of cricket, involving:
- Run-up acceleration
- Explosive delivery stride
- Recovery between deliveries
The high MET value of 8.0 reflects this intensity.
For an 80 kg fast bowler bowling for 40 minutes: Calories burned = 80 × 8.0 × (40 ÷ 60) = 426.7 calories
