In cricket, a bye is a type of extra run scored by the batting team when the ball has not been hit by the batsman and the ball has not hit the batsman's body.

What is the difference between bye and leg bye in cricket?

If a legitimate ball passes the batsman without touching his bat or his body, any runs completed are credited as 'byes'. If a legitimate ball misses the bat but touches the batsman's body, any runs completed are credited as 'leg byes'.

Are byes added to bowler?

Leg-byes can be scored from no-balls or legitimate deliveries and are counted only towards the team's score, not that of the batsman. Unlike no-balls and wides, byes and leg-byes are not scored against the bowler.
